Recipe Share: Potato, Egg, and Broccoli Bake

This is a Martha Stewart recipe I love to make for brunch, or Christmas morning, or baby showers. It's lovely and delicious. I love that there isn't a crust, because you make the crust out of potatoes. (And you all know how much I love potatoes!)
I also love that it's versatile. You can make it with sausage, or bacon, or ham, or without meat if you'd like. You can also use broccoli, or drained spinach, asparagus, or even zucchini. My favorite version is with bacon and broccoli. Or ham. I can't decide. It's all yummy, any way you make it.
Our breakfast on Christmas morning


Ingredients:
Butter, for pan
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 baking potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled
  • 10 ounces sugar-baked ham, thinly sliced (less than 1/4 inch thick)
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli, thawed and squeezed dry with paper towels
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (2 ounces)



    • Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch-round cake pan(at least 2 inches deep). Line bottom of pan with a parchment-paper round. (I just take my pan and put it on the parchment paper. Then I use a pencil to trace the bottom of the pan on the parchment paper, then cut out the circle. I usually have to trim the circle a tiny bit to get it to fit inside the pan.) In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice potatoes (less than 1/4 inch thick); drop into egg mixture. Lifting potatoes out of egg mixture, arrange half the potatoes in pan. Layer with ham, broccoli, cheese, and remaining potatoes. Pour egg mixture over top. Press down firmly so that potatoes are fully submerged in egg mixture. Cover with foil; bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Uncover; continue baking until golden and set, 30 to 45 minutes more. Cool 15 to 20 minutes in pan. Run a knife around edge, and carefully invert onto a plate. Peel off parchment. Reinvert, top side up. Slice with a serrated knife.

    Make this soon. You'll love it.

    Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

    Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned.  I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them.  And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much.   The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them.   This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

    Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

    I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

    Recipe Share: Egg and Veggie Scramble with Toast

    This is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's easy, healthy, and delicious. It is also very satisfying to know that you're eating veggies in your breakfast!!   And you'll find that you feel full for quite awhile after eating this! Ingredients : 1/3 - 1/2 C. Chopped veggies (any kind you like - I used mushrooms, red, yellow, and orange peppers, and onions) 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese (any kind you like - I used Monterey Jack) 1 tsp. olive oil fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish whole grain bread (I like to use Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful bread) Directions : Heat your oil in your saute pan over medium heat. Saute all your vegetables until tender, 3-4 minutes. Mix your eggs together in a bowl with a fork or whisk. Add in your eggs and cheese to the pan with your veggies. Stir until firm, but not brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro. Toast your bread, and enjoy together!
