Veggie Baked Eggs
3 T butter
3 T flour
2 cups milk
1/2 t salt
1/8 t pepper
12 Eggs
1 C cheddar cheese
1 sweet onion
2 bunches asparagus
1-lb mushrooms

2 bunches of Asparagus; chopped and par-boiled 1 sweet onion; chopped 1-lb mushrooms; sliced

To a hot non-stick skillet, add 1/8 C Olive oil and a sliver of butter and cook onions till the edges just begin to turn brown. Add the mushrooms and cook till they are brown before adding asparagus.

Add asparagus and another sliver of butter and cook till tender. Set aside.

Cheese Sauce: 1 C Shredded Cheddar Cheese (I used a Mexican blend of 3 cheeses), 3 T butter, 3 T flour. Melt butter in a saucepan, quickly stir in flour and stir till mixture is smooth. Then stir in milk, salt and pepper, stirring until smooth and thick, then add the cheese.

One dozen eggs - beaten. Scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet with a sliver of butter, then add the veggies, and the cheese sauce. Pour into a 9x13 glass pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, preheat oven to 350. I added to the top about a handful of shredded cheese and some french fried onions. Bake for 30 minutes.The baked eggs were a big hit at brunch!We also had bagels with our brunch, watermelon, fruit mix of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and strawberry yogurt.Carrot Cake made by Aunt Annie - topped with Peeps!
