Brunch Egg Bake
"It wouldn't be Easter at our house without this dish on our brunch table. It's a favorite of mine -- not only because it's so delicious, but because most of it is put together the night before. Added note: The amount of cheee is correct in this recipe. I know it's a lot, but it's indeed correct."

One of my favorite things to do is to make breakfast for dinner, and this is the perfect recipe for that! It's easy to put together, it's filling, and it's absolutely delicious! This is a recipe that I will make often, especially when we have company staying overnight. Thanks Bobbie! -
I tried this recipe this week and it will be on the menu again often. I love mushrooms with eggs and the combination of cheeses makes for a truly delicious dish..KUDOS!! -
Sorry, this might not be fair,as I didn't make it- as written, it works out to be 3/4c. of cheese PER EGG in this dish. That can't be right, can it?????

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska.
I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here!
