LAZY DAY BRUNCH CASSEROLE (CRUSTLESS QUICHE)



Lazy Day Brunch Casserole (Crustless Quiche) image

This is a very simple, but delicious brunch casserole - almost like a crustless quiche. We had this for our Lazy Day New Years brunch (our guests come in pajamas and stay that way all day - hence the name). It's very colourful and quick to throw together, especially if the cheese is grated and broccoli is chopped the day before. Don't chop the tomatoes ahead of time though as they tend to get soggy and lose flavour if refrigerated.
