Mediterranean Veggie Brunch Puff

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 8 servings.
I make breakfast casseroles with whatever I have, like spinach, sweet red pepper and cheddar. With this puff, we like a burst of flavor from Greek vinaigrette. —Angela Robinson, Findlay, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 cups cubed croissants (about 6 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Greek vinaigrette

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, whisk the first 6 ingredients until blended. Place croissant pieces in a single layer in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish; top with 1/2 cup red pepper, onion and spinach. Pour egg mixture over top. Sprinkle with cheeses. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
  • 2. Finely chop remaining red pepper; place in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add vinaigrette and shake to combine. Refrigerate until serving.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting. Serve with vinaigrette mixture.
