VEGETARIAN POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut into small cubes and cook in boiling salt water for about 10 minutes. Drain in a sieve and let cool. Rinse the leeks and cut into rings. Cook the leeks in boiling salt water for 3-4 minutes and drain. Peel and chop the onions. Rinse the spinach, drain and cut into strips.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Saute the onions in hot oil until soft. Add the spinach and saute, stirring constantly. Add the potatoes and leeks. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour the vegetables into a baking dish. Mix the eggs and milk. Season to taste and pour over the vegetables.
• Rinse the tomatoes. Drain the mozzarella. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. Distribute the tomatoes and mozzarella onto the casserole. Bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

MEATLESS TATER TOT® CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add meatless crumbles and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in condensed soup, onion, pepper, Italian seasoning, and salt. Transfer mixture to a 8-inch square baking pan. Top with potato nuggets and Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potato nuggets are golden brown and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.

ROASTED VEGGIE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• To roast the veggies (this can be done up to 2 days in advance): Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the middle and upper third of the oven. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
• On one pan, combine the cauliflower and sweet potato. On the other pan, combine the bell peppers and onion. Drizzle half of the olive oil over one pan, and the other half over the other pan. Same with the cumin.
• Sprinkle both pans lightly with salt and pepper, then toss each one until the vegetables are lightly coated in oil and spices, adding another light drizzle of olive oil if necessary. Arrange the vegetables in an even layer across each pan. Bake until the vegetables are tender and caramelized on the edges, about 30 to 35 minutes, tossing the veggies and swapping the pans halfway.
• When you're ready to assemble, reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9″ square baker. Stir the cilantro into the salsa.
• To assemble, spread 1/2 cup salsa evenly over the bottom of the baking pan. Add a single layer of halved tortilla pieces, arranging them so they completely cover the salsa.
• Top with 1/2 of the beans, 1/3 of the vegetables, 1/2 of the of spinach, and 1/3 of the cheese.
• Make a second layer of tortillas (I pressed down on the mixture a little here to make room for the next layers). Top with 1/2 of the remaining salsa, all of the remaining beans, 1/2 of the remaining vegetables, all of the remaining spinach, and 1/2 of the remaining cheese.
• Make a third layer of tortillas (again, I pressed down to make more room). Top with the remaining salsa, vegetables, and cheese.
• Cover the pan with parchment paper (I tent mine in the middle and wrap the edges around the handles) or aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment paper or aluminum foil and bake for 10 more minutes, or until heated through.
• Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes, to give it time to set and reach a palatable temperature. Before serving, sprinkle the top lightly with additional chopped cilantro.

MEATLESS POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• Pour vegetable broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add TVP and remove from heat. Allow to soften.
• Heat olive oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute potato slices in the hot oil just until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• While potatoes cool are cooling, add condensed soup, diced tomatoes, salsa, and chile peppers to the TVP.
• Place a layer of potato slices in the prepared baking dish, followed by a layer of the TVP mixture; repeat until done. Top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and golden, about 1 hour.

VEGETARIAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Lightly mist a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
• Place the vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Divide the vegetables evenly between the two sheets and spread them into a single layer. Roast the vegetables until tender, about 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables on the pan so they cook evenly and switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks once halfway through. Transfer half of the roasted vegetables to the prepared casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, garlic, and Italian seasoning until evenly blended. Gently pour it into the casserole dish. Scatter the remaining vegetables evenly over the top, then dollop the ricotta over the top in small spoonfuls (I like to add about 20 to 24 spoonfuls; you want to each slice to have a few dollops, but have them be large enough so that you can actually taste them).
• Bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes, until the casserole is golden on top and the center no longer jiggles when you shake the pan. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm.
