Brunch Egg Bake

Good Morning. This morning I would like to share a Breakfast Caserole that I made. A friend of mine shared this recipe with me and I adapted it a little to "healthy it up" a bit.

Brunch Egg Bake

3 cups shredded cheese

1/3 cup onions sliced

4.5 ounces of sliced mushrooms

1/2 cup chopped sweet red peppers

4 Tablespoons butter

30 ounce package of shredded potatoes

2 cups of fully cooked ham or bacon cubed or cut into pieces

8 eggs

1 3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup flour

2 tablespoons of minced fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Spray bottom of your 13 x 9" baking dish with Olive Oil. Place your shredded potatoes in the bottom and add 2 Tablespoons of butter to dot the top of them. Bake on 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

2. While this is baking, cook your bacon or ham and set aside.

3. Saute onions and mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter and then set aside.

4. Beat eggs. Add milk, flour, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

5. After shredded potatoes come out of oven, add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese on top, the onion and mushroom mixture, and then add your meat.

6. The next layer will be the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese.

7. Add egg mixture.

8. Bake in oven on 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

I cannot wait for the onions, potatoes, and peppers to come out of my very own garden. Of course, I have to plant them before I can reap the benefits. This is the kind of weather that I am looking for! I did attempt to plant some cold weather (not freezing, but cold weather)broccoli and brussel sprouts right before we had the last cold (freezing) spell. Since I thought that the worst of the cold was "gone", I didn't cover them for one night! Needless to say, I paid the price as they ALL died. However, I cried my river and got over it and now I am ready to plant again. Going to get some more plants tomorrow morning and start all over again. This is the kind of weather that gets me all geared up and excited about gardening. This will be our first attempt at organic gardening. We have made some raised beds and used organic soil to get us started. We also have a composter that is "brewing" some awesome compost for us right now. This will give us some more organic soil to plant with soon. I will be keeping you posted on how the garden is going from time to time.

Going back through a previous post, I realized that I gave some incorrect information and omitted an ingredient in the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that I shared. Here is the correct info. and I will attempt to edit it in my previous post.

1/4 teaspoon salt (this is the correct amount)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda (was omitted)
