I wanted an egg & cheese appetizer to add to a brunch that I was preparing. I needed to prepare it a day ahead and didn't have time to make pie crust. My friends asked for the recipe and my family enjoyed them too! Ingredients:
6 eggs |
1/4 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon basil |
1 -2 tablespoon onion flakes or 1/4 cup sauteed onion |
salt, pepper to taste |
1/2-1 cup shrimp or 1/2-1 cup crabmeat or 1/2-1 cup ham or 1/2-1 cup bacon or 1/2-1 cup broccoli or 1/2-1 cup mushroom, whichever you prefer |
1 cup grated cheddar cheese or 1 cup swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place 1 tbsp butter in a 9 inch square or 10 x 6 inch pan.
3. Melt in the oven about 3 minutes.
4. Beat together eggs, milk, basil, salt, onion, and pepper.
5. Add your filling from above.
6. Stir in 3/4 cup grated cheese.
7. Pour into baking dish.
8. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
9. Bake 35- 40 minutes until centre puffs up and is firm.
10. A knife inserted near the centre comes out clean.
11. Let stand 5- 10 minutes before serving.
12. Don't under cook as it will be runny and don't over cook as it will be dry.
13. Makes about 24 squares.
14. You can prepare a day or 2 ahead and reheat in oven for a few minutes until warm.
