You won’t miss any meat in this veggie, potato, and Gruyere egg casserole filled with loads of vegetables & cheese.  This casserole was pretty simple to throw together and it turned out light, fluffy, flavorful, and paired nicely with some maple-roasted bacon. We all, even my son, enjoyed this veggie, potato, and Gruyere egg casserole, although he said he prefers the bacon and cheese one more.
