In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Toss in onion, garlic and chilies. Allow to brown and become slightly soft. Add in mushrooms and allow to brown just slightly around the edges. Drain the oil and lay out on a dry paper towel, to get the excess oil off.
In a large bowl whisk the eggs, salt and pepper together. Stir in onion, garlic, chilies, and mushrooms. Next, stir in the bread, tomatoes and half of the goat cheese. Pour egg mixture into a lightly oiled casserole dish and sprinkle the rest of the goat cheese on top.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Place dish in oven and allow to bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove dish from oven and sprinkle fresh parsley on top and let it cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
This goes great with fresh fruit of your choice to round out your brunch! This is also easily made vegan by using an egg substitute instead of eggs!
