Thoroughly enjoyed this egg nest (I made one and served some crispy bacon on the side) I used wholegrain/wholemeal bread, baby portabella mushroom, dried tarragon and swiss cheese and a sprinkle of smoked paprika and it all came together beautifully, thank you WI Cheesehead and WI Gal for the recommendation, made for I Recommend tag game. -
Perfect in every respect! Absolutely love the tarragon and the bread had a toasted taste. DH and I had this for lunch. Another asset to this recipe is that it is so easy to adjust the size to fit an empty nester household's needs. Thanks Wi Cheesehead for sharing a wonderful vegetarian entree. Made for Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap the Peppers team.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
