Stove Top Egg Bake Food

HOW TO MAKE FRITTATAS (STOVETOP OR BAKED)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the traditional stovetop method, or 350 degrees for the baked methods (casserole or mini/muffins).
• Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add your dairy of choice and the salt. Whisk just until the egg yolks and whites are blended. Whisk in all or half of the cheese (you can reserve the other half for topping the frittata before baking, if desired). Set the mixture aside.
• In a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or any other large skillet that's oven safe), warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the vegetables, starting with chopped onions or other dense vegetables. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, then add any softer vegetables such as zucchini. Cook until those vegetables are tender, then add any garlic or greens, and cook until fragrant or wilted. Season with salt, to taste.
• Whisk the eggs once more and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Stir with a spatula briefly to combine and distribute the mixture evenly across the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
• Once the outside edge of the frittata turns lighter in color (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), carefully transfer the frittata to the oven. Bake for 7 to 14 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.
• Let the cooked vegetables cool for a few minutes. In the meantime, grease a 9 by 13-inch pan with butter, which works better than cooking spray. Stir the lightly cooled veggies into the egg mixture, then pour it all into the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.
• Let the cooked vegetables cool for a few minutes, then stir them into the egg mixture. Grease 18 muffin cups (I used two muffin pans for this), then fill the cups evenly with a scant 1/3 cup of the mixture. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittatas now.
• Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittatas jiggle just a bit when you give the pan a gentle shimmy (this happens quickly so keep an eye on them; my pan with only 6 muffins finished sooner). Remove the pans from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, and serve.

THE BEST BREAKFAST EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up and stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is no longer pink and is crispy and brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the sour cream, heavy cream, ground mustard, garlic salt, kosher salt, black pepper and eggs together in a large bowl. Add the sausage, hash browns, both cheeses, bell pepper and scallions (reserving 2 tablespoons of scallions for serving) to the egg mixture. Fold to combine.
• Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Dock or pierce the dough with a fork, making sure the entire sheet of dough is evenly docked with holes. Pour the egg mixture over the dough and spread it evenly into the dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil. The egg should be somewhat set, but still wet and light in color. Return to the oven and bake uncovered until the egg is completely set and it is browned on the top and sides, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let the bake rest for at least 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved scallions and serve warm or room temperature.

• Bake 35 to 40 min. or until center is set.

HOME FRIES & EGGS STOVE-TOP CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Start out by microwaving your potatoes as you would for baked potatoes. If you have leftover baked potatoes, you can just use those.
• Once potatoes are cool enough to touch, cut into large cubes (if you prefer them without the skin, peel first) and set aside.
• Fry bacon (or sausage) over medium heat in a 12 inch non-stick pan. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain. When cool enough, crumble into pieces.
• Remove grease from pan and discard, but leave a tbs or so of the bacon grease. (If using sausage, remove all grease and add a bit of butter or spray with butter flavor Pam).
• Add cubed potatoes and salt/pepper to taste and cook over medium for a few minutes until undersides are brown. Flip over, stir in slices onions and smash mixture down a bit with a potato masher or the back of a spoon, so it fills the bottom of the pan.
• With a spoon, make 4 "holes" in the potatoes, evenly spaced, about 2.5 inches in diameter. If the potatoes are sticking at all or if the pan looks too dry, add a bit of butter to each hole, or a spray of Pam.
• Crack and drop an egg into each hole and cover pan. You may need to lower the heat a little depending on your stove. Cook covered until the egg whites are mostly set.
• Remove lid and sprinkle egg whites with crumbled bacon and then with the cheese.
• Replace cover and cook on low until cheese is melted and eggs are set. I sometimes throw a splash of water at the side of the pan to created steam right before I recover the pan and turn it to low.
• If it seems as if the underside of the "casserole" is getting overdone, I remove the pan from the heat and leave the lid on for a few minutes, so the top will continue to cook.
