Egg Casserole

My family came to Waco this weekend! It was so great to all be together again. They came to watch Sing, which is really good this year (SAE's year for Pigskin?). One of the traditions that we've started every time my family comes in is doing a Sunday Brunch before they head back home.

This time Cameron, Ryan, Deboard, Annie, Jeff, Kenci, and my family all got together to eat with my family. We had kolaches from West (maybe the best kolaches I've ever had!), pumpkin muffins that my mom made, danishes, fruit juice, and the recipe for this blog... Egg Casserole!

Egg Casserole 
 
I think my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I could eat breakfast from every meal of the day... Or maybe sushi, or ice cream... Well anyway, breakfast food is one of my favorites!

My mom used to make this egg casserole all the time for us growing up. I remember one time she added the chives and parsley too early and it turned into a green-egg casserole.

Ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp chives, chopped
• 1 tsp parsley, chopped
• 12 strips of bacon, crumbled
• 5 tsp milk (5 tsp for every 12 eggs)
• 1 pkg Jimmy Dean sausage, cooked and crumbled (hot, medium, whatever)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Additional Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms 
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 cup thin-sliced green onions 
• 2-3 jalapenos
• If it seems like too make ingredients, add more eggs!

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Scramble the 12 eggs, 5 tsp of milk, salt, and pepper together. You want the eggs soft, but not runny. At the very end, fold in the chives and parsley. Mix in cooked sausage and any other extra ingredient.

Evenly butter a baking pan and distribute the egg/sausage evenly in the pan. Combine the cheese and sour cream and top the egg mixture and sprinkle the bacon on top. Tent with foil on top of egg casserole and bake for 20-30 minutes.
