Christmas Morning Cheesy Egg Souffle! GF, SCD friendly!

Merry Christmas Friends!

I hope you all have had a cozy holiday, surrounded by family, love and joyJ

Thanks Anna May Photography for these special family photos!

I’m signing on from Cincinnati where I had a wonderful wonderful Christmas. We celebrated a couple days early with my entire family. Heaven on Earth if you ask meJ

So for this festive post, I thought I’d share my mom’s favorite Christmas morning brunch recipe. This egg dish is the hit of the table and always gets polished off.

And it’s Gluten Free and Specific Carb Diet Friendly!!! And super delicious and decadent. Remember…calories don’t count on Christmas ;)

It’s called her Cheesy Egg Soufflé and can be whipped up in a snap!

Here’s what you need: (Serves 6-8)

10 eggs
16 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
2 small cans of Old El Paso Green Chilies (not hot) (SCD use fresh sautéed green or pablano pepper)

2 qt. casserole dish, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, or rubbed with butter
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, beat the 10 eggs and spices together. In your casserole dish, alternately layer cheese and chilies. Chen casserole is filled, pour egg mixture over the cheese and chilies.

Bake 40-45 minutes until the eggs are set. Do not let it get brown. Serve when the eggs are just set.

I’ll tell you what, there’s nothing better than cheese and eggs in the morning, AmIRight? – or at least so I remember ;)

This dish was RAVED about by my family. There’s a reason it’s a classic!

Light, fluffy, spongy and airy, and with a little kick from the cumin and green chiles.

But the best part, in everyone’s opinion, was how CHEESY it was!!

YUM!!

And the best part, is that it’s Gluten Free and SCD Friendly!

The soufle was the star of our brunch. But along with it, we also had a fresh fruit cornucopia! Grapefruit, oranges, pears, apples, bananas, grapes, canteloup, mixed berries – SO YUMMY!!

We also had a cheese plate with smoked salmon! (Using SCD friendly cheese, of course!)

The Rule of Thumb: No Processed Cheese!

So from my kitchen to yours, Merry Christmas!!

Yay for Christmas!

2015 is going to be an exciting year for GFHT, and I can’t wait to ring in the New Year with you!

Peace and Joy,
