Breakfast Egg Casserole

Breakfast Egg Stratta

Served at Clark's blessing brunch.
Recipe originally from Rita DeBry

Egg base:
12 eggs
1 C sour cream
1 C milk
1 C whipping cream (you can use milk or cottage here too if you want)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp dry mustard (optional)

That's the whole recipe. In a 9x13 spread ingredients and cheese and then pour the egg mixture over. Add more cheese on top if desired. Bake at 365 for 1 hour-1 hour 10 min. Insert knife and make sure it comes out completely clean.

I made Tex Mex which included pepper jack cheese, a can of corn (drained), 3 chopped roma tomatoes, 1 onion (sauteed), chopped cilantro, 1 can green chilis, 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed).

The other one I made was sauteed onions and mushrooms (in butter) and then spinach put in the sauteing pan enough to make it wilt with cheddar and jack cheese.

The joy of this recipe is that once you have the base recipe, you can add whatever ingredients you have or whatever sound good.

Just a few ideas:
meats--ham, bacon, sausage
veggies--onions, mushrooms, spinach, finely chopped broccoli, grated carrots, grated squash, peppers, tomatoes (pick what's in your fridg or garden)
herbs--cilantro, sage, basil, dill, chives (pick one that matches the flavors you are using)
carbs--beans, hashbrowns, rice, cut (or torn) bread (cut off crusts)

Try an Italian variety with garlic cheese toast, basil and chopped tomatoes with mozzarella and parm cheese
Try 7 grain bread with sharp cheddar cheese and leftover shredded beef and rosemary for a dinner meal.
