Hidden Eggs
"I wanted to thin out some of my cookbook collection so I decided to place some of my favorite recipes here. This is from the Amish Friends cookbook. A nice change of pace for breakfast. This recipe contains bread, eggs and cheese."

I accidentally added cheese on top of first layer of bread, then cracked eggs but didn't scramble and added the 2nd layer of bread and cheese. I thought it tasted good but the family felt like the eggs weren't done. Not sure if was melted cheese of eggs they referred to. Next time I will only have cheese on the very top but should I beat the eggs before adding on top of the first layer of bread?

That was very good. Its completely gone now. It was enough to feed 3 adults. I added in some chopped up onion (1/2 of an onion) to the egg and some garlic before i poured it over the dripped buttered bread. I also half cooked 3 hashbrown patties (just to brown and unfreeze them) I cut them up and shredded them over the egg mixture. I also had some round sausage patties that i cut up and spreaded over the whole. One more barely layer of that cut up bread remains, drizzled the butter and added the cheese. It was gone in less than 10 minutes!!!

When asked by the kids what I was making for lunch today, I told them "Hidden Eggs". That seemed to peek their interest, so they all came to the kitchen to see exactly what it was I was doing. They saw me pulling apart a loaf of French bread into tiny little pieces and seemed fine with it. However when I cracked the eggs over the butter drizzled bread all 4 exclaimed they were not going to eat it. We have a rule in our house you either eat what is fixed or go hungry...so they all planned on tightening their belts until dinner time. As I topped the dish with pepper jack cheese (That's all I had on hand) my son decided he might try it. Once it was baking in the oven and the smells began wafting through the house they all decided they should give the dish a chance. I made enough to fill a 9"x13" pan, and there were no leftovers! All four kids had seconds, and they asked if I would make this again soon. I'm planning on making this again next week! Thanks for the keeper Crafty Lady. Made and reviewed for the 54th AUS/NZ Recipe Swap. -
For me this was a great, clean out the fridge of leftovers, recipe :) I added some leftover cooked chicken and leftover roasted cauliflower. Buttered the bread rather and drizzled with butter and used whole eggs rather than whipped. Served with an instant IKEA sauce mix called 'Cream Sauce mix for meatballs' or 'Graddsas'. Very tasty, thank you. -
this was a nice new way to eat breakfast!! i actually whipped the eggs first cause i like them scrambled and added some ham! only suggestion i would have is to add some hot sauce! :P -
These were good! Very easy to put together on a busy morning. I think that next time I will scramble my eggs first and add the cheese in the last 5 minutes. My yolks didn't cook so they were runny...my yolk lovin' friend calls these "dippy eggs". Thanks so much for posting! Made for 12 Days of Christmas recipe swap.

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
