Try a strata - wheres_my_job

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced white button mushrooms (8 ounces)
6 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme plus additional sprigs for garnishing (or ½ teaspoon dried)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 slices plain white sandwich bread, crusts trimmed
2 cups grated Swiss cheese (8 ounces)

If topping with bacon, add per serving:

1 slice of thick-cut bacon, cooked, drained, and chopped

Instructions

In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the onion and mushrooms until soft, about 5 – 6 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper until well-beaten.
Spray an 8-inch x 8-inch x at least 2-inch deep baking pan/casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray (or grease with butter).
Lay four bread slices on the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle bread with ½ of the sauteed vegetables.
Add ½ of the cheese.
Pour half of the egg mixture over the top.
Add the remaining four slices of bread in a single layer, then the veggies, then the cheese. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, or for at least three hours.
In the morning, uncover and bake at 325 degrees for about 50 minutes, until the strata is set (it will no longer jiggle in the middle).
Let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve.

Wow that looks yummy - Stormy

A couple of ideas for brunch - nn

My brothers-in-law will make breakfast burritos a lot of times for a brunch-type thing. Something that I have made in the past, is what I call "garbage eggs." I generally take about 18 eggs and whisk them with a bit of milk and then any leftover meat (ham, turkey and maybe a bit of sausage), dressing (depends on the holiday) and any leftover veggies and combine them in a large baking dish with cheese and mushrooms etc. My kids actually loved me making this when they were little and it came about after Thanksgiving when there were not quite enough leftovers to make a meal out of something to feed four people, so I "got creative." LOL.

Another thing that is REALLY good and something that my sister makes quite regularly is to take a turkey breast and roast it in chicken broth and butter as well as DRY ranch dressing -- unfortunately, she has not given me the recipe, but I think you could find it if you do a search for it. It is not done with a whole turkey and only the breast, but it is sooooo good!

LOL- "garbage eggs" - wheres_my_job

Tied up this week w/sick husband. Family has offered to bring sides and I will provide the ham, plus salad, a few veggies. I was amazed at how I loved spaghetti squash, will include this. Couldn't cut it in half but you don't have to so will microwave whole, poke a few holes, turning until soft, then cut in half, scoop and pull out the squash with a fork. You can use butter or marinara. I ate it with no dressing and loved it, sweet and tasty, looks like spaghetti. This is on Dr. Travis Stork's Diet. Have a great weekend!

The next time we go shopping have decided to go all veggie for a couple weeks, hopefully longer. We are overweight, feeling run down, and have been having stomach problems. We knows its what we eat because after we eat we feel it the most. So goodbye to the meat, dairy, cheese, breads, rice, sugar, chocolate, and hello to the veggies. Now...I make excellent salads - nothing fancy (romaine, tomato, cuke, carrots, brocoli slaw, garbanzos, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds), ...

I love the recipes i get off of here. Growing up, I had a friend that I would go to her house and her mom would make salmon croquets, my mom never made them. I tried to make some once and they didn't turn out so good. I looked up recipes, but there are so many variations, so does anyone have a good recipe. Also, the can of salmon that I bought had all of these bones in them and it took forever to clean them out. Is there a type you can buy with no bones and if ...

As requested, here are my recipes for cauliflower and egg curry. These are disgustingly simple recipes. They are traditional recipes, as I was got them from a guy from Delhi I was dating, but they may represent bachelor cooking rather than good mother cooking. I'm going to break these down into a posting for the ingredients (this one), one for the cauliflower, and one for the egg curry. The only ingredient that you likely will not have in your kitchen f ...

I'd like to share my pea soup recipe, and would like other ideas as well. I don't measure things, so just use your own judgment, likes/dislikes. Use a very heavy pot like an enamel pot or dutch oven. First, I take some olive oil, heat it, then sautee up some chopped garlic, onions, celery and carrots. I remove them from the pan when they're done, add a little more olive oil, then brown up a ham steak really well. Let the bottom of the pot get brown. (You can cube the ham steak ...

There is so much exchange of recipes and questions about food on the gab board, I think they should start a new board just for this, so we can all exchange recipes and talk about different food topics.

The snow has started to fly here in MN and every weekend (and during the week) I sit wishing I had a crock of chili going. I usually just throw some stuff together and my family isn't too impressed, but they'll eat it. I know someone out there has a great recipe to share! Hamburger or chicken...spicy or not! My DH and I like spicy but the kids not so much. Thanks! ...

Last year around this time, a poster was kind enough to post several recipes for quick-and-easy fudge that could be made with a can of frosting and a couple of other ingredients. I was wondering if anyone happened to save those, or if that poster is still around if they would be kind enough to repost the recipes? Last year I was way too broke to make any holiday treats but this year is MUCH better (hallelujah, LOL!), and I remember those recipes sounded very tasty and simple. TIA to anyo ...

Does anyone have any suggestions or good recipes for meals that can be made ahead of time or crockpot meals.

I will have a "practice" week their first week of school before I start, but then after that, I'm hoping to be able to get some meal ideas. ...
