Preparation
Step 1
A weelicious reader sent me the idea for this recipe and I absolutely love it! It's the perfect dish to make when all you have on hand are a few bags of frozen vegetables or a refrigerator full of cooked ones and want to create something fast and delicious that your kids will love. I used broccoli and corn because I too had several bags in the freezer, but you could also try peas, cauliflower, or any other combinations you love.
We used these to make this recipe:
eggs, whisked
Preheat oven the 350 degrees.
Heat the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the onions for 3-5 minutes or until soft.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until combined.
Add the onion, broccoli, corn, rice and cheese and stir to combine.
Grease in a casserole dish and pour in the mixture (I used a 9 x 9 inch pan).
this is VERY good. I would cut back on the milk a little bit next time because mine was a little bit too liquidy. But it was still very good! I will also add more cheese next time.
This is really delicious and so quick! And my 2.5 year old had thirds. Then my husband came home and I had to stop him from polishing off the whole casserole so we’d have lunch next day! Ill definitely be making this again with lots of different combos…leftover diced chicken, mushrooms, cauliflower, any veggie would be good! And FYI, I did not cook the broccoli before throwing it in the mix and it turned out perfect.
This was a lifesaver for a side with friends coming unexpectedly and no chance to go to the grocery store. My baby, however, is allergic to egg. Today i just gave him the veggies with an extra infusion of cheese and made the grownup version with egg. Any suggestions so that i can make one dish for everyone to eat? Thanks!
How can I add chicken to this?! Should I cook it first and then shred it and throw it in? Any advice would be great!
btw this is a HUGE hit with my 17monther. she cant have enough. i used cream of corn instead of regular corn coz i know she cant really chew corn yet as she is still getting her molars. my hubby liked it too and ate half of it. have to make a bigger batch next time.
