Company Brunch

April 11, 2008 — Leave a comment

Every year for breakfast on Christmas morning my mom makes this. (I don’t think I’ve seen it made for any other day either) For the first 20 years of my life I hated it, because I hated eggs. Note: it has been Matt’s favorite dish his whole life. Around 21 or 22 I became a fan of eggs and now I love this. I think the name is funny, since it doesn’t describe the dish at all.
Ingredients:
9 x 13 pan
12 slices of torn bread
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 lbs. cooked link sausage
1 1/8 tsp. dry mustard
6 eggs
15 oz. milk

Method:
1 – Place torn bread into greased 9 x 13 pan layer with cheese first & sausage second.
2 – Beat eggs, milk and mustard & pour on top.
3 – Refrigerate overnight.
4 – Next morning add the following:
1/2 can cream of celery, 1/2 can cream of chicken, 3/4 cup of milk – pour over top.

Bake at 300 for 90 minutes.

This is one of the items in the Christmas baskets mom makes every year, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone but her make it, which is surprising since it’s a simple recipe and takes almost no time to make. As a side note, I think my mom would like anything with the name Rocky Road.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
12 double graham crackers
2 cups marshmallows
1 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup salted peanuts

In a sauce pan:
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
cook until caramel
Add 1 tsp. vanilla
Drizzle over prepared sheet of graham crackers.

Bake for 10 minutes.
