Receta CEimB: Broccoli Cheddar Breakfast Bake
This week I absolutely insist that everyone try this recipe.
We had it for dinner. You can have it for breakfast or lunch or brunch. Heide of Chezzero certainly knew how to pick-em this week. Three cheers for Heide! You will have to go to Heide’s site to get the recipe since it isn’t listed on the internet.
My changes (you know they happened):
Did not use a large onion. I used 4 green onions and didn’t bother dirtying a pan to cook them.
I used 6 whole eggs, not 8 and used 1 cup of Egg Beaters not 8 egg whites.
I used 16 oz of frozen broccoli, which emitted a horrible odor every time I opened the fridge door over the 8 hours the bread was soaking up the eggs. Ted and I gave each other dirty looks until we figured out what it was. Here’s a clue: wrap it tightly!
Instead of 1 1/2 cups shredded extra sharp cheese, I used 2 slices of reduced fat pepper jack and 1 cup sharp cheese.
Since I ran out of room when mixing everything into the eggs, I simply placed the broccoli on top of the bread cubes which were not from a whole wheat baguette but a multi grain artisan bread.
Out of Ted’s mouth came…”Mmmmmm” “MMMMMMM!”
I was too busy grabbing at second helpings to mutter anything.
I guess that says it all. Great pick, Heide!
