I just love a good breakfast casserole, don’t you?! And, if I can throw it in the crock pot, even better! The idea for this particular casserole came from my love for the fresh flavors (and cream cheese 😉 ) in this Zucchini Frittata. But this time I knew I wanted to add some other flavors and make it just a bit more egg-y.

Updated: This recipe was voted a battle winner by our YouTube Community so we cooked up a cooking show episode for it!

I actually made this for dinner the other night and the hubs kept carrying on about how fantastic it was. It has all those wonderful summer flavors we are craving zucchini (you could use squash too), grape tomatoes, mushrooms and well… cream cheese ;).

You could substitute any of the veggies for onions, peppers or whatever suits you. The egg mixture helps everything hold together and then it is all topped with sausage (I used the sausage crumbles for convenience) and some shredded cheese.

Everything crocked up nicely in my casserole crock pot in about 2-2 1/2 hours on high. However, as always, it is best to test this recipe in your own slow cooker first and just use the times as a basic guideline, not a set rule.

Medium Eggs vs. Large Eggs

If you are anything like me, I have always bought Large Eggs. It never occurred to me to even think to purchase anything else. So, when HATCH contacted me, my first question was, how are Medium Eggs different from Large Eggs? 

Turns out, they really aren’t that different and… they are cheaper! Now occasionally– especially when baking— you may need to use an extra egg here and there. But for the most part, if you are using them for scrambled eggs or egg sandwiches, etc. you can likely get away with using them just like you would large eggs.
