I usually make a double recipe since I have some hearty eaters (read "men"). Leftovers can be turned into breakfast burritos for a quick on-the-run breakfast during the week.
Make – Ahead Scrambled Eggs
8 slices bacon (or 1 package of real bacon bits)
3 T. margarine or butter
16 eggs
1 C. half-and-half or milk
½ t. salt
¼ t. pepper
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup
2 T. chopped fresh chives (opt.)
4 Italian plum tomatoes, quartered, sliced (opt.)
1 (8 pkg.) pkg. (3 cups) sliced fresh mushrooms (opt.)
8 oz. (2 cups) shredded Cheddar cheese
8 oz. (2 cups) shredded Cheddar cheese
· Cook and crumble bacon
· Cook mushrooms until tender (if using)
· Melt margarine or butter in skillet
· Beat eggs in large bowl
· Add half-and-half and salt and pepper to eggs
· Cook eggs in skillet until firm but still moist
· Stir in soup and chives (if using)
· Place half of egg mixture in 3 ½ or 4 quart slow cooker (crock pot)
· Top with half each of the cooked mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and crumbled bacon
· Repeat layers
· Serve immediately, or cover and keep warm on low setting for up to 4 hours
- Makes 12 3/4 cup servings.
Never be afraid to ask for help! My husband usually cracks all the eggs for me. Sometimes we prepare the egg mixture the night before so all we have to do is scramble the eggs in the morning. |
While he is cracking the eggs, I assemble the rest of the ingredients and measure out the milk. NOTE: I buy shredded cheese and bacon bits. |
Once you have scrambled the egg/milk mixture, stir in the condensed soup. My kids don't like mushroom, so I've been known to use cream of chicken, onion or cheddar cheese soup. |
To make clean-up easy I use a slow-cooker liner. Place your egg mixture in the bottom. |
Top with bacon bits. |
Top with shredded cheese. Repeat. Cover and set cooker on warm. Let the cheese melt before serving. |
I tripled the recipe to serve at Mom's Bible Study yesterday. The young mom's loved having a little protein to start their morning. Enjoy and Happy Easter!
