Are you wanting an oven or microwave recipe? If you can use the oven you make a breakfast casserole, kind of like the Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares, just use the DCB. I have been meaning to try a recipe out for the microwave, but I still haven't tried it, it makes a lot and need more people than just DH and I, kids won't eat eggs so they won't eat it. But, like I said, it would work for the oven... Here is the post that I posted from another thread with the "recipe" (just made it up, so it's not officially a recipe until someone tries it!)I haven't tried this yet, but I found a recipe that is to made in a crock pot and I tried that but it dried out a little too much cooking all night long in the crock pot, so I am planning on making it sometime in the DCB in the microwave...Layer:
thawed frozen Hashbrowns
breakfast meat (I used ham and it was too dry, would recommend sausage or bacon, precook)
onions or peppers or mushrooms (to taste)
shredded cheese
and then pour beaten eggs over topSorry there aren't any amounts or times for microwaving, like I said, haven't actually tried it in the micro, the original recipe called for a dozen eggs and to cook on low all night long in the crock pot. I was also thinking that it might be good if you went a little mexican with it. Add Chorizo with the breakfast sausage and maybe add some salsa and mexican blend shredded cheese. Maybe crumble some crushed tortilla chips on top? And maybe serve with sour cream and salsa! Good luck!
