My Family's Favorite Breakfast Egg Bake

[@Asimplepalate]

As stated in this video, you can really add whenever you want and make this your own. :) Add different vegetables, bacon, sausage, cheese, or no cheese, whatever you like. Also, thank you to those who made me aware mushrooms can be grown in manure😵‍💫😂 I might have to redact that statement about cleaning them with just a napkin lol.

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

These are the best recipes because you add what you like and have in hand.

[@Asimplepalate]

​@@SarahsAtticOfTreasures awww glad to hear it! And couldn't agree more. :)

Clean out the fridge egg bake. Fantastic! This all looks great! Drew has the best job!

[@Asimplepalate]

It really is a clean your fridge out recipe! Thank you, Jessie :) and Drew certainly enjoys being a taste tester!

[@annaluisa379]

I just love your videos -I feel like I am cooking with a friend as I follow you along as I cook. Making now for a late dinner with my husband. Thank you Bethany!

[@Asimplepalate]

This means so so much! That's truly what I hope things are like for others watching. I don't want the videos to be too slow or too fast, but the right pace for you to cook along. I hope you enjoy it and love that you're having it for dinner:)

[@MatthiasHamilton]

my italian grandmother used to make this and throw in chunks of pepperoni..... LOVE IT

[@Asimplepalate]

ohhh love that! Love to hear she used to make it too :)

[@Thewatcherinthering336]

Hi Bethany! I laughed out loud when you double checked the paprika! I actually did the mistaken cayenne thing once and boy was I surprised when I tasted my food!!😂always look forward to your videos!

[@Asimplepalate]

Oh nooo 😂 I bet it was a surprise. That’s my biggest fear lol. I had a mini heart attack cuz I thought it was cayenne for a sec. Just a pinch of that stuff is so spicy! 🫠 and thank you for watching every week as always! 💛

[@amgymrat4546]

I recall your family making this for us a couple times when we visited! it is legit delicious and the potatoes really do something with this recipe! Love the variety of what you can do with this❤

[@Asimplepalate]

Yes, you were one of the many we've made this for:) Glad you enjoyed it, Cuz! 💛

[@Anyonesguess421]

My mom being Sicilian and an observant Catholic, meat was off the table on Fridays! This was a Friday night menu option and we looked forward to it. Only difference is, she made hand cut french fries instead of boiled potatoes. As far as ketchup goes, if diners didn't have ketchup on the table for the breakfast rush, they'd be out of business! I wonder how this would come out using egg whites? Anyhoo, well done, as usual!

[@Asimplepalate]

I love to hear that this was something you also had:) Great to hear! And good point on the ketchup lol. Thank you for the support💛

[@Anyonesguess421]

@@Asimplepalate what I love most about all your dishes is the time management. We don't live in the 60s - 70s anymore. Between couples having careers, kids and homes to manage, they're running 24/7. Your recipes allow them to put good Italian-American food on the table, have time to sit, relax and enjoy their loved ones gathered together to celebrate life.

[@Asimplepalate]

@@Anyonesguess421 I really appreciate that a lot. I try my best, though some may be a little bit more involved than others, the bottom line is to enjoy these recipes with your family and savor that time. That's what matters most to me💛

[@Anyonesguess421]

Cooking is an art, but it's also a science. Your recipes teach organizational scales when it comes to prep & assembly. This saves us a lot of time,.

[@biggyrat1313]

So glad I found this recipe. Picking veggies today out of the garden and this has inspired me to make this! Thank u!

[@Asimplepalate]

I'm so glad to hear it!! I hope you enjoy it:)

[@allborosnyc4544]

Delicious! I showed this and some of your other recipes to my Italian born and raised parents and they said "Ah, she's so pretty. She knows what she's doing and should be on the food network". This is also called Pizza Rustica.

[@Asimplepalate]

awww, that warms my heart, thank you for showing your family and please tell them I said thank you for the kind words🥰 I think young me wouldve jumped at the opportunity to be on food network, but now I'm really content doing this on my own terms! I appreciate your support on all my videos!

[@rickross199]

I make these in large muffin tins. They freeze well and everyone gets the personal fillings they like. I also agree with the comment above regarding mushrooms 😂. That ain't dirt you're brushing off 😂.

[@Asimplepalate]

hahahah my mom led me astray with mushrooms. I always have learned you have to cook mushrooms, now I know why😵‍💫😂 and yes love making them in muffin tins too!

[@amandamartinez4346]

Looks delicious! Love the egg bagel seasoning idea! Definitely making this tomorrow! Thank you for sharing! 🤗

[@Asimplepalate]

I hope you enjoy it, Amanda! :)

[@DouglasJCook]

Thanks again for another great recipe. I actually made this for dinner the other day. My family loves Quiche, and this dish was a good alternative. Brilliant idea to cook in skillet. As well as all your other dishes on here. This was a big hit with the family. So far, I've made every one of your dishes posted with great success. Keep it up, and thanks again.

[@Asimplepalate]

It truly means so much that you would make all those recipes! I am touched . So glad you've enjoyed each one! If not you can always let me know and I'll work on it😅 Thank you so much, Douglas!! 💛

[@papascruffy]

Great idea, I'm gonna go make one now, I don't have all the same veggies but I know what will work! I've used water to mix up my eggs for many years, funny so many don't and want to use milk but when ya know, ya know 😉

[@Asimplepalate]

Yes, what's great about it is you can literally use whatever is on hand! I never make it the same way every time. And love to hear you do the splash of water as well!!

[@happygolucky6331]

Hey Good C👀kin whatcha got L👀kin? Breakfast is how I start my day. Perfect holiday morning meal idea.

[@christophermorath6866]

Excellent looking egg bake! I love ketchup on my eggs as well. Greetings from Langhorne Pa.

[@Asimplepalate]

Thank you so much!! 😊 and I'm glad to hear it about the ketchup - it's more common than I thought!

[@rmd9032]

Bethany, It sounds like your mom really knows her stuff? Is she an accomplished chef? Adding water to the eggs produces steam which makes the eggs scramble lighter and fluffier. Great job on the egg bake! I would have to add some of my homemade Italian sausage to it.

[@Asimplepalate]

She's not a chef, just a very good home cook. But she did learn that trick from a chef :) ahh sausage would be wonderful in it!

[@debbiedequillettes6984]

My husband will love this one ! Deb az

[@geometricflow4213]

One way--and probably the best way--to add more flavor to the potatoes is to fry them first. It's like the equivalence to searing meat before adding it to a recipe.

[@Asimplepalate]

@@geometricflow4213 yep you could totally do that. Would definitely make them more flavorful!

[@jameswagner8634]

You could mix some of that chilula with some sour cream and drizzle that on this. It looks really good. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you.

[@Asimplepalate]

oh yum, yes!! That would be great.

[@glleon80517]

That looks really yummy, Bethany! I was rooting for Parmesan to show up! And as soon as the Cholula came in, my head said Add Chorizo! Wait, subtract Parmesan, add queso fresco! Oh dear, I need to lay down, I have “Dryer Brain”😂 Thanks and Cheers!

[@Asimplepalate]

hahaha I needed to take a break from parm just this once. ;) and yes, all the above would be amazing! You can take it in so many directions. Thank you, George! 💛

[@geordiejones2]

Hi Bethany Like a night in shinning armour to the rescue again, (i kid you not) This Sunday the family are all meeting here and were going to a giant car boot sale (not sure what there called there) to which i offered everyone Brunch before we go. Your words prepared before hand made me smile, as a full English breakfast here has to be made at the time. This will defiantly keep all happy and i will serve it with French toast, tea and fresh coffee. Never added water to my eggs before so this should be interesting. Not quite sure the English palate is ready for Hot Sauce with this, but i shall offer it. Will let you know how it goes down Sunday/Monday Chris (In UK) PS - What did the tired omelette say? “I’m egg-hausted”

[@Asimplepalate]

Wow, I'm thrilled with the timing of this all. :) I have always wanted a true English breakfast, which sounds wonderful. And add whatever you like to the egg bake! No pressure on serving it with hot sauce. I personally don't like spicy stuff, but I enjoy a dab of it with the eggs! Lol love the jokes week after week😂

[@geordiejones2]

@@Asimplepalate Hi Bethany Well Sunday was a little bit busier than i thought, but luckily i made double as you won't believe how much the men in our house eat, and i thought a few more would turn up. As always your dish went down amazingly with several bits of paper being given out for your website. Now one thing i did buy which i do not have was a hot sauce called Siracha, as the net said its a good one. I will admit i did not open it just placed it on the table, OMG, people looked at it, tried a little bit, and shall we say there is only half a bottle left !!! What you need to understand is us brits don't do hot sauce and never on a breakfast dish, it seems 'We do now' By the way i should learn to trust you more by now, i was a bit concerned about adding water to the eggs, buy oh my gosh it works, i was shocked. Thanks for this great dish, you did it again lady. Chris (In UK)

[@Asimplepalate]

@@geordiejones2 This is so wonderful to hear, Chris! It especially made me laugh to hear about the siracha. I'm so glad you all liked that pairing, especially since that is not a common condiment in the UK with breakfast. Thrilled to hear it and so appreciate you sharing your experience with each recipe :) I always look forward to hearing about how they went!

[@stevefischer8254]

What brand burner do you use?

[@ShelpR]

I'm going to try this, minus the broccoli and mushrooms. Ill add some pepperoni as @MatthiasHamilton suggested.

[@andrewwhelan2669]

How long will the leftovers last , and what is the best way to keep it longer ?

[@Asimplepalate]

I have all of that info on my website :) but typically 3-4 days (you could get away with longer but it doens't last long in my house) and in an airtight container refrigerated. I have reheating instructions on the website too!

[@smokinwithskruggs]

Looks yummy, what size skillet is that inch wise?

[@Asimplepalate]

11 inches - Sorry, forgot to mention that!

[@smokinwithskruggs]

​@Asimplepalate no problem, just wanted to make sure mine was big enough, thanks!

[@dennyo7798]

What diameter of CI skillet did you use, 8" or 10"?

[@Asimplepalate]

Its a 10 :) shouldve clarified that! But I've done this in my 8 inch one too.

[@geordiejones2]

Hi Bethany Sorry if its pressure, but do you have any new recipes coming out soon. If me asking before you are ready causes offence one must say sorry. Chris (In UK)

[@Asimplepalate]

Not at all! I just posted a new recipe last week, and have tested a bunch lately. I'm slow with getting new recipes out because editing youtube videos takes up a lot of my time. However, I moved my new release date to Thursdays with KZbin, so the new videos will be out on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays, so I now have more time to get new recipes post. I have a short rib ragu coming soon and I'm very excited about that one!!

[@geordiejones2]

​@@Asimplepalate Short Rib Ragu OMG, Bethany you must understand your recopies may be normal in the USA, but so so amazing here in the UK, they make me look like a super star. Chris (In UK) PS - Why Didn’t the Cook Season His Dinner? Because he didn’t have the “thyme”.

[@geordiejones2]

@@Asimplepalate Bethany your so kind with your reply. You must understand my family and friends love your recopies, that's your fault 😁😁 I don't mean to place pressure on you. Chris

Is that a non stick pan and who makes it ?

[@Asimplepalate]

amzn.to/3YPeJmE this is the pan I use! Its not non stick. :)

[@tubenutt]

Mushrooms are grown in manure, so I wash mine and dry them. I've been cooking for about 50-some years and never had a problem with mushrooms being washed. Just do not soak them forever.

[@Asimplepalate]

are they? 😵‍💫 maybe I'll reconsider how I clean them lol. Thank you!

[@tubenutt]

@@Asimplepalate Yes they are. I used to drive truck and delivered to a place that grew mushrooms for a famous soup company. They had farmers delivering cow manure to them all the time. I asked what it was for and the receiver told me they grew the mushrooms in it. It is a great fertilizer for all sorts of plants.

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

WOW ! My frittata doesn't come close to your masterpiece.. ketchup ? try Organicville Organic Ketchup , Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, USDA Organic, Agave Nectar, Plant-Based I buy the 4 pack give a few away.. great flavor .. Off to the store BTW last weeks sauce wonderful Thank you .
