Creamy Ricotta Egg Casserole With Fresh Tomatoes
- 12 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 large tomatoes, thin sliced (6-8 slices per tomato)
- 1 small jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and diced fine
- 1 small onion, fine diced
- 1 cup baking mix (Jiffy or Bisquick)
- 1 pint ricotta cheese, part skim is ok but no NO fat
- 2 cups grated white cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk (no skim for this)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, diced fine
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, diced fine
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (not margarine)
- salt
- pepper
- Eggs -- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except for the tomatoes and chives. Mix well until everything is combined. Pour into a 13x9 pan sprayed with a non-stick spray or Pam.
- Bake -- In a 350 degree oven, middle shelf, bake for 45-55 minutes. To see if it is done, test like you would a cake -- stick a knife in the center to make sure it comes out clean.
- Then turn on the broiler, remove your dish and top with the tomato slices and plenty of salt and pepper. Broil 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly and the top is lightly brown. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to let it rest. A good 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve -- Sprinkle with the fresh chives before serving. I don't try to cut this, but rather just spoon it. They are absolutely wonderful and creamy, and a nice change from traditional scrambled eggs. Add some potatoes, bacon or sausage and you have a wonderful meal. ENJOY!
