Everything Cheesy Potato and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Once I was served a similar casserole. My longtime friend, Dierdre, had made it. It was perhaps the best thing I ever ate. Maybe it was the hangover?  What’s not to love about cheesy potatoes, baked eggs, and crispy bacon?

Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

I have made these before. Trust me, they were a hit, not to mention so attractive. Each bite is a palate pleaser.

This dish is basically a quiche that uses a hollowed out baguette as its base instead of a buttery pie crust. A terrific twist on a classic.

The recipe author says it best: "These jalapeno hash stuffed portobellos are deliciously salty from the bacon with a kick of spice and topped off with a poached runny egg."

How To Make Natural Egg Dyes

Loving the idea of natural dyes. If I was dying eggs this year, this would be my method. You use actual food, fruit and veggies to create these subtle colors. These were done with a Vitamix, but I bet any good blender would work. And it is all healthy without chemicals.
