Lonesome Mile Farm

Cheese Strata

2 cups (3 slices) bread cubed.

1/2 pound cheddar cheese, shredded.

1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled.  I have also used ham, shrimp, and sausage.

1/4 cup cup butter, melted.

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced.

3 large eggs.

2 cups of milk.

1 teaspoon dry mustard.

1/4 teaspoon salt.

Place half of the bread cubes in a 1 1/2 quart casserole.  Layer half the cheese, bacon and butter.  Repeat layers and arrange mushrooms on top.  Beat eggs, milk, mustard and salt and pour over the layered mixture.  Set the casserole in a pan of hot water.    Bake at 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

Ziplock Omelets

This works great whether you are camping or at home.  A fun and easy way to serve weekend guests a special omelet. 

Crack 2 large or extra large eggs into a quart size Ziploc bag, shaking to combine.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns and salsa, you get the idea.

Each camper/guest adds any or all of the above ingredients to their bag and shakes.

Make sure to get the air out of the ziplock bag before sealing.

Place the bags into boiling water for 13-14 minutes, depending on the amount of ingredients used.  A large pot can usually accommodate 6-8 omelets.

Open the bags and the omelets will roll out!  Be prepared for everyone to be amazed:)
