The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m Marilyn from the beautiful island of Crete. I didn’t grow up celebrating Halloween, but when I moved closer to friends who love it, I couldn’t resist joining in the spooky fun especially in the kitchen.
One crisp October morning, I had friends coming over for brunch and needed something cozy, filling, and festive. That’s when the spooky brunch casserole with eggs, sausage, and spider-web cheese was born! Inspired by classic Greek comfort foods (like baked eggs and savory pies), I added a Halloween twist with creamy cheese “webs” and just a bit of spooky charm.
The best part? This Halloween breakfast casserole is incredibly easy to make, and you can prep most of it the night before. When it bakes, your home smells like cozy autumn warmth and just a hint of haunted magic.
It’s become a tradition now warm, satisfying, and just spooky enough to make everyone smile.
