Heritage Recipe

Aunt Bette's Egg Surprise

Ivory Creek B&B Website

Ingredients:

1 dozen large eggs

1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1 pint sour cream

Surprises (any of the following can be used or mixed):
--3/4 cup ham cut into pieces
--2 small cans green chili peppers (drained well)
--1-1/2 cups raw broccoli, cut in slices
--2 cups fresh mushrooms cooked in butter
--2 cups fresh onion cooked in butter

Beat eggs with a wire whisk until well mixed. Add all of the sour cream and mix well. Add the grated cheese and mix a third time. Place the "surprise" in the bottom of a 9 x 12-inch baking dish that has been well greased with butter or non-fat spray. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the "surprise". If a surprise floats to the top, press it down under the surface with a spoon. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes until browned. Let stand out for 5 to 10 minutes to set, then cut.

Serves: 6 to 9
