This morning I felt like making a breakfast dish that I can serve later on this evening. And it stores easily and heats up in the microwave without destroying the integrity of the dish. I made one plain (just cheese and eggs) and one I added Basil and Tomato before putting into the oven. The basic recipe allows you to add items such as bacon and sausage if you prefer a little heavier breakfast (just please!!!..make sure you cook your bacon or sausage PRIOR to adding it into this dish).
RECIPE:
2 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese (or use a combination of anything you like)
1/4 stick of butter
1 cup of light cream (feel free to use any milk you want - I used 2 percent Milk)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp. of Dijon Mustard (don't fret...experiment with this - my dish this morning had Horseradish Mustard in it)
12 eggs slightly beaten
You can use a 13x9x2 baking dish (glass is preferred) or as I did two pie plates.
Spread your cheese on the bottom of the dish. Dot with butter.
After combining your milk, salt, pepper and mustard, pour 1/2 of the mixture onto the dishes reserving the other 1/2. Pour your eggs into the baking dish and top with your remaining cream mixture.
Bake in 325 degree.
40 minutes for the 13x9x2 dish
30 minutes for the smaller baking dishes
LOOK AT THIS!! Not only is it beautiful to look at, the Basil and Tomatoes fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma and it is ohhhhhhhhhhhhh SOOOoooooooooo Yummy!!!!
If you try it...let me know if you like it...!
Let stand for ten minutes and serve
Once cooled off store in fridge
