Holiday Egg Thing Breakfast Recipes

HOLIDAY "EGG THING" BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Butter all the slices of bread on one side and cube them (1 inch squares are fine, but the size is not important).
• Butter a large shallow baking dish.
• Put about half the bread cubes in the dish (evenly distributed in the pan).
• Sprinkle the cubes with half of the cheeses.
• Repeat both layers.
• Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the bread and cheese mixture (may look very liquidy, but it's okay; the bread will soak up the moisture).
• Refrigerate 8-24 hours before baking (I like this b/c you can make the recipe the night before and just throw it in the oven for breakfast the next day).
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 min or until brown (check often: this can be a tricky recipe, and oven temperatures can vary a lot).
• You could add a lot of different things like sausage, ham, bacon, diced bell peppers, and onions, so if you'd like to add anything just throw it in with the cream mixture.
• Best served with bacon or ham and coffee.

CHRISTMAS MORNING EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Spread ham into the bottom of prepared casserole dish. Butter one side of each bread slice; cut slices into cubes. Arrange buttered bread cubes atop ham; layer American cheese over bread cubes.
• Whisk milk, eggs, mustard powder, and salt together in a bowl; pour over American cheese layer. Cover dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove aluminum foil from casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and eggs are set in the middle, about 1 hour.
