Happy Saint Paddy's Day to all. We had Green Eggs and Ham for dinner
tonight. I started with this recipe, but I'm a bit prone to making
changes. I think I doubled the bread b/c I had some nice Challah that
was already stale, and so I also used some milk to be sure the bread
would soften. I know I added extra spinach, just 'cause. I probably put
more cheese on it too, come to think of it. Oh, and I skipped the
seasoning salt and put salt, pepper and nutmeg in instead. But I stuck
to just eight eggs because CD is out tonight and it only needs to feed
three of us. Other than that, (!) this is the recipe I used. And it is
very green.
Ingredients
-
8
eggs
-
1 cup
frozen chopped spinach
(thawed)
-
6 ozs
ham
(chopped)
-
1 cup
bread
(cubes)
-
1/2 tsp
seasoning salt
-
1/2 cup
swiss cheese
(shredded)
So, what I
really cooked was probably closer to this:
Green Eggs and Ham breakfast casserole
- 5 slices thick challah bread, torn into bits
- 1/2 cup milk
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 8 oz ham cubes (could have gone with more, had I had more)
- 2 cups shredded swiss cheese
It
sat for about an hour before cooking to let the bread get good and
sogged. Then it baked for 30 minutes and was lovely and green and
filling. We ate about half of it. We'll have it for breakfast another
morning.
