I made this for my family over the weekend. This is a fine do-ahead brunch casserole. The eggs were soft. The mushroom and broccoli were good add-ins. They bring flavor and color where ever they go. The rich cheese sauce makes the eggs so scrumptious. Thanks Nurse Di, for another delicious recipe :)

Perfect for company and great reheated for a late night snack as well :) This got absolute raves at a brunch and I'll be sure to make it again.

We really enjoyed this, Nurse Di! I wanted a make-ahead egg dish without potatoes or meat - voila! This is perfect. My DH loves soft scrambled eggs and this really fit the bill. I added asparagus instead of broccoli - yum! We had it for two mornings and it reheated nicely in the microwave. Wrapped it in tortillas with salsa on Day 2. Will enjoy this often, even for dinner on a cool winter night. Thanks!
