I thought this might be fun. Everyone post your favorite or more. This is mine.
HASH BROWN QUICHE
24 oz frozen, uncooked, shredded hash browns, thawed--or make your own.
5 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs beaten
1/2 cup half & half
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
4 oz jalapeno jack cheese,shredded (1 cup)
4 oz Swiss cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1 cup diced, cooked ham
Fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 425. Press hash browns into quiche pan. Blot to remove all moisture and brush with melted butter. Bake 25 min and remove from oven. Reduce oven temp to 350.
Combine eggs, half & half,and salt--beat until blended. Place cheeses and ham in hash brown shell. Pour egg mixture over the top. Bake 40-50 min Garnish wth parsley.
This from "Stop and Smell the Rosemary", published by the Jr. League of Houston. This will be a hit when you serve it.

I apologize - I made this so many times for so many different numbers of people, I just entered the ingredients to be able to change the amount to make. But, it's just such a straight-forward breakfast dish, I don't think anyone will have any trouble putting it together.
(After our big bash this evening, I come back and add directions if anyone wants me to.)
P.S. "published by the Jr. League of Houston." Don't you just love those books?? When Roy was traveling so much, he would seek out the Jr. League cookbooks at all the cities he visited. Love them!

Sounds wonderful--a must try. We have several of those Jr. League books--will post more recipes from them.

Muffaletta (sp)? I have never made one, but find the idea intensely appealing.
Re: Favorite Brunches - Bizymomma - 08-15-2006
Muffalettas (sp) are yummy! I love to make them!
Re: Favorite Brunches - vannin - 08-15-2006
Good old bacon and egg pie is good too. I always put peas in mine, and some cooked onion.

Avocado just thickly smooshed on toast is jolly good too. With a squeeze of lemon.
