Eggs Yummy
Eggs Yummy is a cheesy, buttery casserole with a crispy bun crust, perfect for breakfast or brunch, appealing to cheese lovers and comfort food enthusiasts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 9 x 13-inch pan, melt the butter.
- Crumble the hamburger buns into the melted butter in the pan.
- Sprinkle grated sharp cheese over the buns.
- In a large bowl, beat 6 eggs with 2 cups of milk until well blended.
- Pour the egg mixture over the buns and cheese in the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using flavored butter or adding herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture. If sharp cheese is too strong for your taste, you can substitute it with mild cheddar or even mozzarella. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread instead of hamburger buns. Be cautious not to overmix the eggs and milk to keep the dish fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or fruit platter for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside crispy bacon or sausage links. It also complements well with a side of Dippety Doo Dip for added flavor. Enjoy it with a light beverage like iced tea or a mimosa.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to overheat to maintain the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dish up to the point of baking and refrigerate it overnight. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil. When you're ready to bake, remove it from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can use a homemade version by blending cooked mushrooms with cream and seasoning. Alternatively, cream of chicken soup or a cheesy sauce can also work well in this recipe. For a vegetarian option, consider a cream of celery soup.
Can I add vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely! You can incorporate sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or onions for added nutrition and flavor. Just make sure to cook the vegetables beforehand to remove excess moisture, which helps maintain the texture of the dish.
