Submitted by iewe7726

"Had this recipe saved for a while from the web. Looks good, and a little different from other breakfast casseroles I have seen (including a bit smaller as it is not in a 9x13 pan as many I see)."

So simple and so good. I made this as directed and used shredded hashbrowns. I love that this is made in a pie pan so that it makes a smaller casserole than the standard ones you find. Thanks iewe for a new keeper. Made for 123 Tag.

I needed a quick and easy casserole to make on Christmas morning and this really fit the bill! Simple to prepare, baked nicely in the stated amount of time, and leftovers reheated in the microwave without drying out. My family liked it so much I made it again 2 days later!!

Denver omelets are my favorite and this casserole was very good. I used dried minced onion, shredded hash browns, and couldnt find shredded swiss so I used slices that I cut into thirds. Liked the tomato sliced on top and not warm in the cassrole. Thank you iewe for posting this recipe, a very nice find. :) Made and reviewed for Pick A Chef - Spring 2009.
