This vegetarian egg bake offers a lighter, more elegant alternative to a traditional fried breakfast. The base is a souffle-like mixture of large eggs and whole milk, enriched with Swiss cheese that melts into a beautifully puffed, golden crust. It is a simple yet sophisticated dish that relies on the contrast between the soft, airy texture of the eggs and the earthy, caramelised flavours of the oven-roasted vegetables.
Accompanied by a vibrant hash of sweet potato, chestnut mushrooms, and shallots, this meal is as nutritious as it is comforting.

Serve it straight from the oven to the table for a rustic, satisfying feast that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Fluffy Baked Eggs with Roasted-Vegetable Hash
Butter for greasing dish
10 large eggs
240ml whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
140g Swiss cheese, coarsely grated (350ml )
275g cremini mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped (1/4-inch pieces)

1 large shallot, halved and thinly sliced

How to make Fluffy Baked Eggs with Roasted-Vegetable Hash
Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 232°C. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish (about 2 inches deep).
Whisk together eggs, milk, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper until smooth, then whisk in cheese. Pour into baking dish. Bake in upper third of oven until puffed, golden, and set, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss together mushrooms, sweet potato, shallot, oil, and remaining 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a 17- by 13- by 1-inch baking pan. Spread vegetables in an even layer, then roast in lower third of oven while eggs are baking, stirring twice after 10 minutes, until tender and golden brown, about 18 minutes.
Serve eggs with roasted vegetables spooned on top.
