BRUNCH: Cheese baked eggs for a crowd.
this recipe is from one of my restaurants in Seattle, the HiSpot Cafe. You can make a whole bunch of these and put them on a cookie sheet in the oven and have different eggs for everybody and still free yourself up to drink Mimosas with the gang. The only limitation is your imagination.
Take an oven proof dish. Like one of those glass custard cups you never know what to do with. I used a 6 ounce boat. Grate a high quality swiss into the bottom. It just needs to cover it. Crack in two eggs, put in a float of half and half (ok ok milk if you so desire, but you only live once) The yolks should be sticking out like eyeballs. top with another light layer of swiss. Bake at 400 until they start to brown just a tad on the top.
Now, heres where it gets fun fun fun. Cheese, eggs, cream, two teaspoons of pesto, cheese=Pesto baked eggs. Cheddar cheese on bottom, eggs, cream, green chilies, black olives, tomatoes, swiss on top=Santa Fe Bake. Cheese, eggs, cream, crumbled cooked bacon, crumbled blue cheese, swiss on top=B and B Bake. Cheese, eggs, cream, SMOKED SALMON, scallions, swiss= Heaven in a dish. Smoked chicken, chili con carne, sausage, ham, you name it you can do it. Only rules??? Cook the meat and sometimes you have to sautee some of the veggies. Any cheese on the bottom, swiss ALWAYS ALWAYS on the top. Enjoy, I sold thousands of these babies and people just loved 'em. Funny thing??? I can't eat them anymore. Ate too many...Oh, and even if you overcook them? They are still wonderful. Judy
