Shredded Chicken & Cheese English Muffin Breakfast Bake


 HI Friends, Happy Holidays!! This year for our Christmas morning brunch I tried out this new recipe and it was a huge hit with the fam so I just had to share it with you :) I'm loving that this recipe can be made ahead of time (which is great for a holiday meal) and stored overnight in the fridge to save prep time the day you intend to bake it. This year I coupled this with my yummy Cinnamon Roll French Toast Breakfast Bake (recipe link here: Cinnamon Roll French Toast Breakfast Bake) for a hearty breakfast. We ate around 11:30am and still haven't been hungry for much other than a snack of fruit & veggies and it's 6:30pm! It held us all day and we are just getting ready to eat a lite dinner while we watch some Christmas movies :) 

Hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did! :) 

INGREDIENTS:

8 English muffins sliced into 1 inch cubes

16 oz shredded chicken or diced cooked ham 

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

8 large eggs

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

*optional: Sprinkle of Basil & Oregano

INSTRUCTIONS: 

*Preheat oven to 350' and grease 9x13 in. casserole dish with cooking/baking spray

1. Slice English muffins into thin strips & then into cube size pieces

2. Add half of English Muffin cube pieces to casserole dish & sprinkle with half of cheese and meat.

3. Repeat another layer of English muffin cubed pieces, and the other half of cheese and meat. 

4. In a large bowl mix eggs, cream, salt and pepper and whisk well to combine. Pour over casserole covering it well. 

5. Sprinkle the top with a small handful of cheese and cover with aluminum foil.

6. Bake casserole on top rack for 45 minutes. 

7. Remove foil and return to oven for an additional 15 minutes uncovered. 

8. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

*Tips: 

-Check often to ensure it is baked evenly by inserting a toothpick into the middle of dish and checking if it comes out clean. 

-This yummy casserole would be perfect for a potluck or could be frozen (if prepped without the egg mixture added). If frozen, allow to thaw prior to baking and add egg mixture just before baking. 

Enjoy!

The Ultimate comfort food: Easy Green bean tater tot casserole

Pecan-Pear Green Salad

 My family loves this salad! I have been making it for holiday gatherings for the past 7 years and the bowl is always empty on the way home, haha. This year was no exception, although we had a much smaller gathering it was requested and as usual the bowl was scraped clean;)  One of the great things about this salad is that it can be prepared ahead of time and will keep well in the fridge for a few days (*before the dressing is added to it) which makes it a snap to bring to a holiday gathering, potluck or take on a picnic. Ingredients: 1 container of mixed salad greens (I prefer O Organics mixed greens)  1-2 medium  ripe danjou pears  (sliced into thin slices) 1 avocado (sliced into slivers or thicker chunk size pieces) 1 cup dry roasted, sugared pecans  *Additional ingredients options: Dried Craisins or Dried Blueberries Fresh blueberries & strawberries in lieu of pears Feta cheese Slices of Chicken would be excellent in this as well to add some more p...
