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.

    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 ...

    How we do chores.

    I was searching the internet a few months ago for some ideas on creating a chore schedule for myself and my kids that would help us to keep our home clean. I tend to get into the habit of letting things get really dirty and then doing a major scrub down for a few days that leaves me exhausted and cranky. I thought there had to be a better, more manageable way. And then I found an idea to make a 7 day chore schedule that went along with the days of the Creation in the Holy Bible. I thought this was a great idea and so creative, which I always appreciate. So, I sat down with my hubby and kids and we brainstormed ideas of how this could be done. We broke down each day and what we could do. And then I found pictures online that went along with our chores and typed up these pages. After laminating them, they were ready to go! I keep them in a file folder my kids can easily reach on the kitchen counter, and each morning one of them will put up the chore page for the ...

    Father's Day Gift Ideas.

    Father's Day is coming up!  We love our Jason, and we like to surprise him with special gifts.  I wanted to share a few things my kids and I have loved doing for Jason. These Pinhole Press board books are so adorable and easy to do. The kids love looking at them, and Jase cried when he first saw them. They made his day! Making a slideshow for your special guy is also a great idea! We made one for Jason a few years ago, and it was so special and fun. There are many different sites you can use to do that. One that I've used recently is Smile box . It does cost money to use, so be aware of that. You can also use free sites or simply make one using google slides or iMovie. Etsy has some great gifts for Dads.  Look at this awesome tee set for a Dad and child. So cute! I love this modern watch/jewelry stand . So manly and clean looking. This docking station is equally awesome. For the Dad who enjoys cooking, you could get him one of these personalized cutting boards . Love ...
