I decided to make an egg bake for supper.
I didn't have a particular recipe in mind so I went to allrecipes.com and put this call out on my Facebook page:
I'm
just looking for a recipe that calls for eggs, cheese and hash browns
(I have shredded potatoes hash browns). Anyone? Just a normal breakfast
bake/casserole. Thanks.
What I made today is pretty much a mix of all the info and advice I received.
 |
| Here are the ingredients. The spices are basil, parsley and onion. |
 |
| 8 Eggs |
|
 |
| Salt and pepper the eggs |
I don't like pepper and can't even taste it. Jim Gaffigan agrees as he says: "Would you like me to wave this magical wand over your food?"
It does make me sneeze though.
I add pepper because recipes always call for both salt and pepper.
 |
| Add the spices to the egg mixture. | | |
|
 |
| Pour in some milk. |
|
|
 |
| It's so pretty! |
|
|
 |
| Meanwhile, saute some vegetables. We love mushrooms in our house. | | | | |
|
|
|
 |
| These peppers were earmarked for DH's lunch for tomorrow. Sorry, hon. And then I forgot to chop them into smaller pieces. Whoops. | | | | |
|
|
 |
| First layer. The whole bag of shredded potatoes was waaaay too much, so I put about half back into the bag. |
|
| Even after putting half of the potatoes back, I didn't think the egg mixture would be enough for the casserole. |
|
|
 |
| So I added a can of cream of mushroom soup. That can only help things, right? |
|
|
 |
| I added the ham. Probably about 2 cups. Thanks to my cousin Danielle for introducing me to pre-cut, pre-cooked ham, perfect for salads and casseroles. |
 |
| Here's where it really starts to come together. Pour in the egg mixture. |
 |
| Add the cheese. The original recipe called for 6 cups of cheese. Sounds like a heart attack. Here is about 3 cups. |
 |
| Add the sauteed vegetables. |
 |
I decided to stir it all together. And then added just a bit more cheese on top. Yum!
Again with the experiment. I put it in the oven around 5:30pm at 350 and around 7pm it looked done.
Here is the final
product. It was fantastic! *enter some Rachel
Ray "Mmm-mmm!" sounds. DH had seconds. I finished off with some Mint
Chip ice cream. I am pregnant, after all.
