Finally, something different!

Most of my egg bakes are getting pretty monotonous. Seems like I am always making mushroom and spinach, or mixed vegetables.

Well this week I discovered an old bag of "Stir-Fry" vegetables in my freezer. I bought them at Costco a long time ago, and they seemed like an excellent candidate for this week's egg bake!

If you want to try these yourself, here's what the bag looks like.
I also used my favorite bacon this week. Uncured ended & pieces from Trader Joe's. So delicious!

I didn't really do anything special this time. I sliced up the whole package of bacon and fried it up, along with some crushed garlic. Then I added the veggies to the pan to heat them up a bit. I added some dehydrated onions at that time as well. Once it was in the pan I dusted the mixture with cayenne, salt, and black pepper too.
There was a lot of liquid left in the pan at the end, which I poured into my egg mixture, along with some heavy cream. I used a dozen jumbo eggs this time.

I gotta say, this is pretty stinking good! It's a nice change from the usual monotony, and it used up some old stuff from the freezer. I didn't add cheese this time because I'm out of the shredded stuff. Cheese would be good on it though! I also should have greased the pan, but it will just need extra elbow grease when I clean it.

So this just goes to show that you can throw almost anything into an egg bake. Such a versatile breakfast!
