Spinach and Ricotta Egg Bake

April 1, 2020 By Liza Cannata 4 Comments

This easy, yummy, make-ahead egg dish is the perfect dish for New Years Day Breakfast.  Just prep everything the night before, pour into a baking dish, cover and refrigerate overnight.  In the morning, when you might have had a little too much champers and skipped on some sleep, all you have to do is simply pop the casserole into a warm oven, and voila, a lovely breakfast is ready to be served and your kitchen is spotless! Make sure to buy the following at the market early in the week to avoid the holiday rush: eggs, onion, baby spinach, ricotta or feta, Parmesan, bacon and milk.
Enjoy!

    I know I’m an idiot cook but do you mean you can mix up all ingredients, even the raw eggs , and leave in fridge overnight?
