We are about a week away from Mother’s Day. What do you do to celebrate? I know brunches are a very popular choice, so I am here to help you out. I say every year, that I don’t need presents for Mother’s Day. I just want to not have to cook and clean for the day. Last year my husband planned for us to go up into the mountains for the day, and that was perfect. We hiked, went out to lunch, and then came home to relax. Knowing that he thought of me and planned something is exactly what I think Mother’s Day should be.
Egg Bakes are a great recipe to have in your arsenal. If you have company coming over, or just want a lazy weekend you can have an egg bake ready. You put everything together the night before, so in the morning all you have to do is bake and serve. I love anything that can be made ahead, especially when company is involved. The last thing I want to do is get up at 6am to get breakfast ready for a house full of people. Because, let’s face it, the house full of people do not want to deal with me if I have to get up at 6am.
Every egg bake I have made in the past has had hash browns as the base. This time I decided to mix it up with sour dough bread. At my son’s school they have a teacher appreciation lunch each month. They rotate which grade sponsors the lunch, and brings in the food. Last month was the 3rd grade, and I bought this egg bake in for the teachers. I did get a few emails later in the day that this was a hit. Really, eggs, cheese, bread, and sausage….what is not to love!

This is perfect for Mother’s day this next weekend. Maybe I should print the recipe out and hand it over to my husband.
I totally agree—-What’s not to love. Besides its quick and easy. Its amazing what a hit these are, when you serve them. I love having them when family is over, because I get so busy talking I get distracted. Distraction sometimes means disaster. We won’t talk about my rolls at Easter. Sigh. Anyway simple make ahead takes care of that problem!
