- 8 whole cage-free eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 6 oz smoked salmon (can sub for roasted salmon) flaked
- 1/2 whole red onion diced
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 cup fresh kale chopped small
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes diced
- 1/2 loaf brioche bread cubed
Pre-heat oven to 375F degrees.
In a large bowl whisk the eggs, add in milk, 1/2 cup cheese, dijon mustard, cream cheese and ground pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
In a separate bowl add in salmon, onion, capers (if using), kale and cherry tomatoes. Mix to combine. Set aside
Place a layer of brioche bread on the bottom of a 11x8 casserole. Make sure to cover the entire bottom of casserole with loose cubes of brioche but don't press it down.
Pour half of the egg mixture on to the brioche.
Add in all the salmon and veggies. Make sure to distribute evenly.
Top with remaining egg mixture.
Fishish with remaining shredded cheese.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Check the center to make sure it is cooked through. Cheese should be bubbly but egg cooked all the way.
Garnish with fresh greens, chives or dill, fresh ground black pepper and serve.
Make ahead: If you are expecting a big crowd and want to get this casserole off your to-do list you can make it the day before and reheat it before serving. However, I find the casserole tastes best if prepared just before you want to serve it.
Storage: Leftover smoked salmon casserole will keep well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
