Does anybody have a recipe for an egg casserol. It does not have to be light.

Thanks for your help!

We have a book called "Wake Up & Smell the Coffee," a collection of recipes from bed & breakfast inns. There are several recipes that my wife says are casseroles, but I'll post the only one titled casserole. Some of these are black olive quiche, broccoli herb & cheese bake, & cheese omelette oven-style. If you're interested in any of these, I'll be glad to post the recipe(s).

EGG AND BACON CASSEROLE
18 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
1/2 pound bacon, cooked crisp & crumbled
Parsley
Buttered crumbs

For cream sauce:
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
1 cup light cream or half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp thyme

In a grease 8x10" glass baking dish, spread egg slices. Top with crumbled bacon.
For cream sauce: In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 3 minutes, until bubbly & thick. Stir in cream & milk until the sauce is smooth and thick. Add cheese, garlic, basil, marjoram, & thyme. Stir until cheese has melted.
Top bacon & eggs with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley & buttered crumbs.
Cover & refrigerate overnight or bake immediately. (If refrigerated, let sit out for a half-hour before baking.)
Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Makes 6-8 servings.

This is my all-time favorite egg casserole (not light!):

7 eggs (6 X-large), beaten
1 t salt
pepper to taste
1 C milk
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 lb. small curd cottage cheese
1/2 C butter, softened
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 lb. montery jack cheese, shredded
1 t baking powder
1/2 C flour

In one bowl mix eggs, salt pepper and milk. In another bowl combine all cheeses and butter. Mix egg mixture and cheese mixture and add baking powder and flour. Mix well. Pour into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

I always get raves when I serve this or take it to breakfast/brunch functions.
