Egg Pie

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

I got this recipe from my brother. He made these for his son's baby blessing brunch. They were so delicious that we made another one the very next day.
  • 1 pie crust 8-10 inch (homemade or store bought)
  • Basic Filling:
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 Cup half and half
  • 1/3 Cup cheddar cheese
  • Extras:
  • 1/3 Cup hash browns(I used dehydrated ones from Costco)
  • 1/2 Cup ham steak cut into cubes(you could use bacon or sausage)
  • 1 can green chilies (I don't think I used the whole can)(optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, half and half until well mixed. Fold in ham.

  2. Place pie crust in pie pan. Layer with hash browns, eggs mixture, green chilies and then cheese on top. Place pie pan on a cookie sheet to prevent spillage in your oven.

  3. Bake for 1 hour or until cheese is lightly brown.

Cook's Note: You will need to be careful to not fill the pie with too many extras. The first time I made this, I think I went a little overboard with the hash browns.

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

I discovered a new recipe blog this week. Heaven help me. I already have a list of 10-15 recipes to try. My husband doesn't like chocolate and since he is out of town, this is what is for dinner tonight :)

1 Cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 Cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 Cup mashed bananas (about 3)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cup flour
1/2 Cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Cup semi sweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. Beat sugar, eggs and oil in large bowl at medium speed until combined. Beat in bananas and vanilla at low speed.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add to banana mixture at low speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  4. Spoon batter into pan. Bake 60-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

Cook's Note: This is really filling. My kids usually eat 2-3 slices of banana bread, but tonight, they could only eat one slice. I used only 3/4 Cup chocolate chips and it was still really chocolatey, but we loved it.

Graham cracker squares
Marshmallow cream
Semisweet chocolate chips
Cinnamon

Spread 1 TB of marshmallow cream on a square of cracker. Add 1 TB chocolate chips and sprinkle with cinnamon. Layer second cracker in the same way and top with 3rd cracker. Wrap in foil and bake at 425 for 6-7 minutes. This can also be done on hot coals.
