To Start the Day

This is another of those B&B; recipes I've collected through the years. My experience with the hosts has been that they are more than happy to share their recipes with you. This will serve 8 generously and is easy to cut down.

This is one of the great egg casserole breakfast dishes that I've found.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Spray or grease a two-quart casserole dish with cooking oil.

Ingredients:
12 eggs
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon dried chervil
1 teaspoon dried summer savory
1 teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt (or Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt, which I prefer)
3/4 stick butter or margarine
2 cups shredded hash brown potatoes (thawed)
1/4 cup (or less) chopped onion
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb. center cut bacon, sauteed until just short of crispy and cut into 1 inch dice and drained

Beat eggs, yogurt, and salt together.

Melt butter and lightly sauté onion. Add thawed potatoes. Stir to mix.

Pour in egg mixture, add bacon and lightly stir to blend ingredients.

Pour into casserole dish. Sprinkle grated cheese over casserole.

Bake at 350° for approximately 25 minutes or until knife comes out clean when inserted.

Cut into 8 squares.

For cold winter mornings, this will give you some meat on your ribs before you head out into cold weather activities. I'd want this before digging the car out of the snowbank the plow just placed behind it, for example.
