Comfort Food Classic - Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole

Anyone else craving comfort food these days? I will admit, it has been a little crazy around here lately between having the kids at home and getting ready for spring planting and it has all added up to me wanting a simple, carb loaded, cheesy dish to end my day with.  Let me introduce you to my go to Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole recipe!

Ham & Cheese Omelette Roll

It's probably no secret that I love to entertain and have people over at our house - from having friends over to watch the big game, to hosting Easter this Sunday for 21 people - I love to celebrate with family and friends.  Today I'm sharing a great dish to make when hosting a group for breakfast or brunch.  In fact, this use to be a favorite of our church's youth group when My Farmer and I were youth group leaders.  We would have the high schoolers over for breakfast on Graduation Sunday as a way to relax and focus for the big day and have a little final hoorah for the seniors.  Anyways, the kids would gobble this up, so much that I would have to make two.  I hope you enjoy my Ham & Cheese Omelette Roll as much as a group of hungry teenagers! 😉

Ham & Cheese Omelette Roll

8 Eggs

1 cup Milk

1/3 cup Flour

1/2 tsp Garlic Salt

1/2 tsp Onion Salt

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1 cup Ham, diced

2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Beat eggs, milk, flour, salts, pepper and ham with whisk until well blended.

Line a 15"x10"x1" pan with parchment paper and spray heavy with cooking spray.

Pour egg mixture into prepared pan.  Bake 15 minutes or until edges are set at 350°F.  Top with cheese.  Bake an additional 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Roll up omelette immediately, starting at one short end, peeling off the parchment paper as it's rolled.  Place on platter & cut into slices to serve.

Easy Pecan Sticky Buns

It's Holy Week and one way I'm celebrating is by sharing different Easter Recipes with some of my blogging friends!

Did you see the article circling around on Facebook last week about how a study from Japan determined eating ice cream for breakfast may improve mental performance and alertness?  Well, this recipe for Easy Pecan Sticky Buns is here to help you out!  That's right, these breakfast sweets are just a little bit sweeter by using ice cream as the "cream" in the caramel sauce!  I know all of my ice cream fans are excited and everyone else is probably intrigued, so I won't wait any longer and I'll share this easy and simple recipe!

Easy Pecan Sticky Buns

2 cups Pecans, chopped
1 - 8 count Jumbo Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits
1/4 cup Cinnamon Sugar
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Vanilla Ice Cream

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking oil spray and spread pecans on the bottom of the pan.  Roll the biscuits in cinnamon sugar and place on top of the nuts.  (I like to sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top of each biscuit too 😉.)  Do not crowd the biscuits, but they can be touching.

In a small sauce pan, mix the butter, brown sugar and ice cream; bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute.  Pour the caramel over the biscuits.  Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.  Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes and then flip over to enjoy!

I hope you like these Easy Pecan Sticky Buns as much as my family and I do.  My favorite part of this recipe is probably that it is so simple to pull together and it uses ingredients I usually always have in my kitchen.

Having some crowd-pleasing, simple breakfast ideas is important for Easter Week when you have extra company staying over at your house.  On Thursday, I'm going to share another breakfast or brunch idea that is great for entertaining.  Check out my blogging friends' posts this week and follow along to see the 46 recipes and tips shared throughout the week by following #EasterRecipes on social media.

Start Your Morning Off Right with Green Chili Egg Bake

* This post has been compensated through the AE Dairy Blog Ambassador program.  All views and opinions shared are my own. *

Last night on Facebook I asked what foods come to mind when you think Easter.  The top three answers were:  Ham (or some other pork dish), Salads (Waldorf, Broccoli Raisin, Pasta, etc.), and Deviled Eggs.  I couldn't agree more!  I am hosting Easter this year and we have all three foods (plus more!) on our menu.  I'm planning on baking a ham and/or smoking a pork loin and making plenty of salads (including my Overnight Salad).  One other thing I'm planning on making is Green Chili Egg Bake.  I feel like it is only right to start Easter morning with an egg bake!  I have many memories of helping youth group make Easter Breakfast at church, so it only seems appropriate to carry on the tradition in my home.

This Green Chili Egg Bake is cheesy and buttery; plus, the green chilies give it that added something!  A surprise ingredient in this egg bake is AE Dairy Cottage Cheese!  The cottage cheese helps give the egg bake a creamy texture.  I used my favorite AE Cottage Cheese - their Old Fashioned variety, but any of them would work nicely.  It'd be fun to try it again soon with one of their flavored varieties: Mr. E's French Onion or Mr. E's Garden Vegetable.

Green Chili Egg Bake

10 eggs
4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups AE Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies, drained
Salsa for serving

Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.  Stir in the shredded cheese, cottage cheese, melted butter, flour, baking powder and salt; fold in the chilies.  Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes (or until the eggs are set) at 350°F.  Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serve with salsa.

So start off your Easter morning with this delicious egg bake.  It'll be a sure family favorite!  What food do you think of when you think of Easter?  Do you associate Egg Bakes with Easter morning like I do?  Remember to Comment for a Cause!
