Cheesy Baked Omelet
At the request of guests I am posting this popular casserole that I serve when I have a larger group of guests.
Ingredients:
- ½ loaf French bread, sliced (or croissants cubed)
- 12 slices bacon cooked & crumbled
- 4 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 oz. shredded
- 3 tablespoon melted butter
- 8 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 2 green onions chopped
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup sour cream
Directions: Butter bottom & sides of a 9 x 13 baking
dish. Place bread slices on bottom and
drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle 2
cheeses and bacon over bread. In a
medium bowl beat together eggs, milk, wine, green onions, mustard, &
peppers. Pour over bread. Cover tightly with foil & refrigerate
overnight.
Remove
from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°. Bake covered for 45 minutes (or until
set). Remove foil and spread with sour
cream and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake
uncovered another 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Makes 12
servings
Notes: This is my favorite special occasion breakfast or brunch dish. I often prepared it the night before
Christmas, or when guests were staying overnight. It is always great to wake up to the smell of
bacon & eggs. Serve with sliced
fruit salad or "Breakfast Salsa"
