Thanksgiving Brunch- Mini Ham & Egg Casseroles w/ Tomato Salad

Candybee — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:26:42 -0800

I like to have brunch Thanksgiving morning & eat dinner around 6-7pm. Because there is so much cooking to be done, I make this quick brunch that we can snack on all day. This is based on another recipe I found that used cheddar cheese- I use cream cheese & the old recipe uses canned biscuits the flaky layer ones, but I use baguette because it is faster...I also pair this with a quick tomato salad. Both of these dishes work well to nibble on throughout the day.

Mini Egg & Ham Casseroles
Serves 4
1/4 baguette cut into small cubes
4 oz cream cheese cut into 12 slices
1 tbsp EVOO
1/4 lb thinly sliced ham chopped, about 1 cup
4 scallions, white and green portions thinly sliced & separated whites from greens
Pepper
1 1/2 cups half & half
6 large eggs
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (FRESH THYME VERY IMPORTANT)
1/2 lb plumb tomatoes sliced into wedges
Salt

Preheat oven to 350
Get a 12 cup muffin pan & fill each cup 1/2 way with bread cubes
Top w/ cream cheese slice
In a small saucepan heat the EVOO over medium heat & add scallion whites, ham & pinch of pepper. Cook about 5 minutes. Add half & half & bring to simmer, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, whisk eggs & thyme then whisk in the half & half mixture. Fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture & bake until puffed and golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool about 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges & remove from muffin cups.

Tomato Salad
Drizzle slice with EVOO, top with scallion greens & season w/ salt & pepper.

Sunday Brunch

This is what I wore out for Sunday brunch. My hubby actually complimented this outfit (he never really notices what I wear, so that's BIG). He said he liked the color combo and the necklace. Up next: a related look, in which I swapped out the sweater for a more structured jacket for a dressier look. Ethnic-inspired tunic top: H&M Cardigan: Banana Republic Necklace: Ann Taylor Jeans: Citizens Amber Shoes: In this pic, I was wearing boots. I actually swapped these out right before leaving, for cute & comfy flat black patent leather driving moccosins.

These are my younger cousins also at the brunch. Style obviously runs in the family. Their outfits, from left to right, are from Target (love the hot pink boots!), Target, Wal-Mart, and Aeropostale.
