Why look! I made something today. This recipe is what gave me the initial idea, actually. So I hurried into the kitchen and took a picture and VOILA! My first challenge entry.
This recipe was in our local weekly paper this week. Since we still have THREE DOZEN hard-boiled eggs left over from Easter, I figured we needed some new recipes for them. I'm going to give you the recipe as it was in the paper and then give you my thoughts.
Bacon and Hard-Boiled Egg Casserole(Basic recipe serves 18)
( INGREDIENTS: )( Here is what it looked like after most of it was consumed )WHAT I LEARNED:
First off, I halved the recipe so that might account for part of the problem I had with this. I used ham and white cheddar cheese (except on the top since I ran out of the white stuff and went back to the normal orange stuff).
It didn't turn out like a casserole. It was very... floppy. There's nothing in this recipe that firms it up. We had it with toast which was nice. It was lunch (as I was too lazy to make it for breakfast) and there wasn't a lot there to make it interesting so it's really more of a breakfast food.
It was good but it was odd. My sister didn't like it because the eggs were colored (well duh!) but she's also not a huge hard-boiled egg fan. My parents both ate it eagerly enough.
I've looked up other recipes online (as I didn't want to have to retype) and I found variations on this theme that might be better. This is a very plain recipe compared to some of those. Most all of them made a cheese sauce instead of just a white sauce and I think that might be a better use for the cheese.
There you have it. Recipe Number One is complete for your approval!
