Mushroom and Feta Breakfast Casserole

Submitted by riffraff

"I love the flavor of feta and mushrooms so when I found this recipe on the internet I thought it sounded so good. My only problem was that it served 8 and I needed to scale it down to serve 2, not a problem, just adjusted the ingredients and the size of the pan and of course the cooking time. I used low fat feta and it was delicious. This also freezes well. I just reheat gently in the microwave."

I scaled this down so that I used 5 eggs, and that was a good amount for 1 adult, a 2 year old and a 5 year old. Cooktime in a convection oven was 30 minutes. The 5 year old waxed lyrical about this, I liked it too and the current fussy one ate most of his. Good meal choice!
