I really enjoy rec posted by elenor for brunch enchiladas. I will be making them again on Christmas

morning. I serve them with a fruit salad and Cathy's bacon kielbasa dish. I make both dishes the night before and cook in the am. I am copying the recipes below, because I still have challenges with cut and paste with the links...UNLESS, someone wants aw shucks shrimp!! smileys/smile.gif

Brunch Enchiladas

2 cups cubed, fully cooked ham
½ cup of chopped onions
½ cup of chopped peppers, optional
2½ cups of shredded cheese
10 8 inch flour tortillas
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2½ cups half-and-half, light cream or milk
(I used 2% milk - was good)
1 tablespoon of flour
¼ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
A few drops of hot pepper sauce

Avocado Slices
Salsa
Sour Cream

Place 1/3 cup of ham at one end of each tortilla. Sprinkle with chopped onions, green peppers (if using) and 2 or 3 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Roll up fairly tightly. Arrange the tortillas, seam side down in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, garlic powder and hot pepper sauce. Pour over tortillas. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Uncover, bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, bake 3 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

BACON AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

2 stalks celery, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
1 lb Polish sausage, cut into 1/2” slices
3 cloves chopped garlic
1 lb chopped bacon ( I use thick peppered bacon)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp pepper

In a large flameproof baking dish, sprinkle celery, onion, green pepper, and tomato. Spread Polish sausage over this, then sprinkle with the garlic. Cover all with the bacon.
Mix vinegar, Worcestershire, paprika, thyme and pepper, and sprinkle over everything.
Bake at 350° for one hour. Pour off juices and run under the broiler for 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

 
REC Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

9 eggs, beaten
Jimmy Dean's link or patty sausages, 1 package, crumbled
2 1/4 cups of milk
2 cups of cheese (cheddar, Colby, whatever you have)
10 slices of bread, torn into quarters
Salt and black pepper to taste

Spray the crockpot with Pam. Make a layer of bread, sausages, and 1 cup of cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat the layer.

Mix eggs and milk together. Pour over the ingredients in the crockpot. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high.

Note: nice to set this on a timer and wake up to a nice, hot breakfast.

 
I also like this one from 50+ Friends' Cookbook (have made this one)

From the Kitchen of: Kathleen

8 large eggs
1-1/4 cups grits, quick cooking
6 cups water
1 tsp salt
4 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, chopped
4 oz Pepper Jack cheese, chopped
2 cups baked ham, chopped
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Boil the eggs 5 minutes. Peel and chop.
Mix the grits, water and salt in a 4 quart saucepan and cook for 2 minutes or until thick. Then add the cheese, ham and eggs. If mixture is a little dry, add water one-fourth cup at a time until it pours easily into a 9" x 13" buttered casserole dish. Mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top.

Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 30 minutes or until fully thickened and bubbling.

Cut into squares and serve with a spatula. Makes 9 generous servings.

Note: If you prefer, this recipe can be baked in individual dishes sitting on a rimmed baking pan. You will only need to bake about 20 minutes if using the small baking dishes. Don't overfill the small dishes as they will bubble over and you will have a mess to clean up. The smaller dishes make really nice lunch size servings along with a green salad and some fresh fruit for dessert. They also work well on a brunch buffet.
