Delicious Egg Bake

I recently made this egg bake for my daughter's 5th birthday brunch with our family. With 12 people, it was an easy-to-make, easy-self-serve dish. The original recipe can be found via this link Brunch Egg Bake which I got from allrecipes.com. The recipe below contains my alterations using the original recipe as a foundation. Personally, I think 6 cups of cheese is way too much cheese for any dish! Everyone enjoyed this dish and I hope you will too!

Hint: Complete steps 2-4 the night before, make and add the egg mixture in the morning to cut down on prep time.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

1 Tbsp butter

1 cup chopped red peppers

1/3 cup chopped white onions

1/3 cup sliced green onions

2 cups diced fully cooked ham

8 eggs

1 3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Combine cheeses. Layer 1 1/2 cups in an ungreased 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish and set aside.

3. In a skillet, saute red peppers and white onions in butter until tender. Add green onions and saute for additional minute. Layer over cheese. Top with ham.

4. Layer with remaining cheese.

5. In a bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, flour, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

6. Slowly pour egg mixture over everything in dish.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

8. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
