Mouthwatering Monday~Eggs
The topic is eggs so get out the recipes girls and guys and lets get this chapter of the cookbook completed.
My recipe is one that I am wanting to try but haven't yet. It is one that I just found the other day and so I thought that I would post it. I thought that is sounded good so here is it.
Ham and Swiss Skillet
12 eggs
1/2 t dried thyme, crushed
dash salt and black pepper
1c coarsely chopped zucchini or yellow squash
1T butter
1 and 1/2 c coarsely chopped cooked ham
1/2 c Swiss cheese, shredded
snipped fresh chives (optional)
In a medium bowl combine eggs, thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a 10" broiler proof skillet cook zucchini in hot butter until tender, stirring occasionally. Pour egg mixture over zucchini in skillet. Cook over medium low heat without stirring until mixture begins to set on bottom and around the edges. As egg mixture sets, run a spatula around the edge of skillet, lifting eggs so the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges until egg mixture is almost set (surface will be moist). Sprinkle with cheese. Place the skillet under broiler 4-5 inches from the heat. Broil for 1-2 minutes or just until top is set and cheese melts. If desired sprinkle with chives. Cut into wedges.

This is a wonderful, I mean, WONDERFUL breakfast casserole you make the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning. The original recipe calls for half & half and 10 eggs, so I've tweaked it to be a little more diet friendly. Of course, if you are tossing the diet fates to the wind, go ahead and put back all the regular ingredients LOL
Overnight Breakfast Casserole
1 loaf firm bread, such as French, cubed
1 8 oz pkg reduced fat cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup (or vanilla, if you'd like)
2 1/2 c regular Eggbeaters (ooooo please, don't use the Southwestern!)
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c fat free evaporated milk
1/2 c butter, melted
1 c frozen raspberries, blueberries or blackberries
powder sugar for dusting the top
Spray 9x13 casserole with cooking spray and add 1/2 cubed bread. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and toss them over the bread. Cover with the rest of the bread.
Beat eggs, milk and salt together. Add melted butter and syrup.
Pour over bread, toss the berries on top. Now, take a pancake flipper and press the mixture down FIRMLY so all the bread is soaked in the egg mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes (about the time it takes to open Christmas gifts)
Let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Put eggs, milk, flour, salt & pepper in a blender. Blend well. Pour into a sprayed 9 X 13 pan. Bake 20 min. @ 450 , till set. As soon as it comes out of the oven sprinkle the meat (s) and cheese and any other ingredients you want in an omelet over the top. Roll it up gently from the narrow end, ending it seam side down. Slice 1” thick. Is very good with a small ladle of a cheese sauce served on top too.

Egg Muffins
4 whole eggs or 8 egg whites or 1 cup egg beaters
4 strips turkey bacon or 1/4 lb. turkey ham cut up cooked , drained
1/2 c. lowfat shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
salt & pepper
parsley or chives
Mix all the ingredients together. Pour into mini muffin cups. Bake 12-15 min. till set and beginning to brown. Makes about 18. When past stage 3 you can add chopped peppers and mushrooms -1/4 to 1/2 c each. Then this will make about
24-28.
Without peppers or mushrooms each one is about 40 calories and 4 grams protein. These reheat and freeze well too. They are great for a bite on the go kids and adults.

Have everyone write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece. You can freeze the mixture and just cook them as needed also. I will take one out of the freezer the night before. Pu****er on and go shower, drop bag in boiling water, set timer and put on makeup. EAT!! Yeah!
