Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups gluten-free potato flakes
4 cups water
6 large eggs
1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Directions

Let’s get cooking with these simple steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray or oil.
In a bowl, combine the gluten-free potato flakes and water, mixing until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese and chopped herbs.
Pour the egg mixture over the potato crust in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hearty breakfast casserole!
