OAMC Month 1, Day 6: Baked Eggs

As I said in an earlier post, we are allergic to milk at our house, but not eggs, and eggs are a yummy staple that everyone likes.  I haven't tried this recipe before, but it sounds good...  so here we go:

This recipe comes from the book, "Once a Month Cooking" by Wilson and Lagerborg.  Of course, it is edited by me to make it milk and gluten free

Recipe and Freezing Instructions:
6 gluten free bread slices, cut into cubes (we like Glutino Harvest Corn)
2 cups dairy free shredded cheese
1 cup cooked cubed ham
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
6 eggs
3 cups original almond milk (not vanilla)

Mix bread, cheese, ham, bell pepper, and onion; spread in a 13x9x2 baking dish treated with non-stick spray.  Whip eggs and milk together and pour over top.  Cover with foil and freeze.

Cooking day instructions:
Thaw.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.  Makes 8-10 servings.

Price: $9 for 4 meals for our family of 5
The Verdict on a scale of 1-10:  I give this a 4 because my kids liked it but I didn't like it at all.  It was too mushy and when we had it for leftovers it was even mushier (is that a word?!).  The middle wasn't cooked and the edges were burning. I think it would be a lot better to put in a few different smaller pans and it would be a lot better.
