DENVER OMELET BAKE

I had a few ladies over the other morning and I served this dish. Two of my friends had sent me a Bisquick egg bake recipe in Tucson, it's a great recipe and I made a few additions and changes and I am calling it the Denver omelet bake.

1 stick butter melted
1 1/2 cups half and half
1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper
green, red, and or yellow peppers chopped
green or regular onions chopped
fresh or canned mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup bisquik mix
1 cup Swiss cheese grated
1/4 cup chopped ham, diced bacon, etc.
4 eggs

Pour some olive oil into a frying pan, add peppers and onions; stir well and add salt, saute until almost done, add mushrooms and sprinkle with a little more salt, saute until soft. If using bacon, dice, fry well and set aside.
Combine butter, half and half, salt, pepper, vegetables, and bisquick. Blend well with an electric mixer. Pour into a greased 10 inch pie plate, sprinkle with cheese and meat and push down to cover with batter. Beat eggs in the same bowl and pour over the batter. Bake 40 minutes, let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
I didn't have Swiss cheese so I grated some provolone, very good substitute.
This serves 8 people nicely.
Enjoy! The Countess

Sounds good, but I would make a SLIGHT modification, I would use cheddar cheese.
:)

I will have to try that.

Oven temp. is 350. I missed that part of the recipe, sorry. The issue is I don't know how to make that addition at this point. Any help with that from anyone??

After you sign-in, go to the main blog page and you will see a little symbol kind-of like a magnifying glass next to the entry that you want to change. Chick it and you can edit the blog entry.
Easy-Peasy.

Ok here is what I made for breakfast today. It is kind of a variation of the Denver:
I fried little pieces of potato until they were almost done and browned nicely. (All the best dishes include potato)
Then I added chopped peppers (all colors), chopped onions and chopped ham. Salt this a little bit.
Fried it for a couple of minutes until the veggies wilted.
Add a few eggs, fry until the eggs are done, put a little shredded cheese on top (cheddar is great) and put the lid on the pan until the cheese is melted.
Andy and I loved it.
Yum!
