I Did It!!!

I finally got brave. Two of my bloggy friends did it and I figured just maybe I could too! On Christmas Eve Day I made Pioneer Woman's homemade cinnamon rolls. They turned out good- I thought they were just a little too sweet- if I were to do it again I would put a little less sugar in the roll up step and some extra cinnamon. The frosting though was TDF ("to die for"- you like that?=). I took them Christmas Eve night and gave them to family for breakfast on Christmas morning. It was kind of fun and if you're feeling up for a baking adventure, you can get her recipe here.

Broccoli & Ham Quiche

1-10" unbaked pie shell
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup Half and Half
Dash of Nutmeg
*******
Layer in pie crust as follows:

4 cups broccoli - chopped fine
1 cup ham, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
6+ strips of bacon, crumbled
1 cup swiss cheese, shredded
(Red pepper for garnish)
*********
Beat eggs, add Half and Half and nutmeg; mix well. Layer ingredients in order given in unbaked pie shell. Pour egg mixture on top. Arrange pepper strips on top of mixture. Sprinkle with Nutmeg. Bake in 350 degree oven for one hour or until knife comes out clean in center of pie.

THIS RECIPE can also be used as a Breakfast Casserole:

Double the filling, (enough to cover the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan), then, instead of crust, make a layer on the bottom of the pan with Hashbrowns from the freezer. Pour egg mixture over all. Bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour or until a knife comes out clean from the center.

This would go nicely with either a Mimosa for breakfast, or a glass of Chardonay for dinner.
Slice fruit on the side would be an added bonus.
