(Scroll down for complete printable recipe, including nutritional information.)
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray glass or crockery casserole dish with non-stick spray or mist with olive oil.

- While mushrooms cook, trim woody ends of asparagus and cut about 1-2 inches long.
- Wipe out pan if needed, then add more oil and cook asparagus 3-4 minutes.
- Put asparagus in the casserole dish, season with Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) and black pepper, then gently stir vegetables.

Ingredients
-
1 lb. fresh asparagus, washed, ends trimmed, and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
-
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, washed and cut into thick half slices (see notes)
-
1 T olive oil (depending on your pan)
-
6oz. goat cheese that comes in a log, cut into very thin slices
-
12 eggs
-
2 T half and half (see notes)
-
2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (see notes)
-
fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
- Spray a 9″ x 13″ glass or crockery casserole dish with non-stick spray or mist with olive oil. Be sure to spray the sides too, or the eggs will stick.
- If your goat cheese feels at all soft, put it in the freezer to get firm while you prep the other ingredients.
- Wash mushrooms and cut into thick slices (or use pre-sliced mushrooms like I did). Then cook mushrooms in a small amount of olive oil over medium high heat.
- When mushrooms have released all their liquid and slightly browned, put them in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- While mushrooms cook, trim off woody ends of asparagus and cut into pieces about 1-2 inches long.
- Wipe out your pan if it needs it, then add a little more oil and cook the asparagus 3-4 minutes, or until it’s barely starting to get cooked and has turned bright green.
- Put the asparagus in the casserole dish, season with Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) and black pepper, then gently stir to combine the vegetables.
- Remove goat cheese from the freezer (or fridge), cut off desired amount, cut into slices, and layer the goat cheese on top of the vegetables.
- Beat eggs until they’re well combined, then pour eggs over the veggies.
- Bake at 375F/190C until the eggs are well set and the top is starting to lightly brown, about 45-50 minutes. Serve hot.
- This can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.
Ratings
I used pre-sliced mushrooms which made the recipe even easier.
Use milk, half and half, or cream, whichever you prefer.
Use any all-purpose seasoning that’s good on vegetables if you don’t have Spike.
