I got this recipe from a radio show years ago, and it's one of my favorites. The unusual pecan-and-cheddar-cheese crusts holds a zippy egg filling flavored with chicken, cheese, dill, onion and a splash of hot pepper sauce. -Jackie Heyer Cushing, Iowa
Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup (4 ounces) finely shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/3 cup canola oil
filling:
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 cup chicken broth
4 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dill seed
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Set aside 1/2 cup of crumb mixture for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture onto the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. (Crust will be crumbly.)
2. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
4. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.
