Congratulations to Beverly! I hope you enjoy the prize pack!!!
I always buy Eggland's Best eggs. I love the way they taste and I love that they are high quality eggs. And I love that I usually can find coupons in my Sunday paper for them.
I recently hosted an Eggland's Best Brinner party for a few of my friends. What's a brinner party? It's a breakfast for dinner party. I know at least one person who was wary of this kind of thing but he ended up enjoying all of the food!
We actually love having breakfast for dinner, we actually plan on doing it tonight! We usually have a main egg dish whether it's scrambled eggs or omelettes. For this party, I wanted to be a little different so for the main dish, I found this wonderful french toast casserole on Virginia Willis' website.
I had a waffle making station and a breakfast burrito station. We had bacon, the french toast casserole and these egg casserole type thingies – cups that I made in a muffin tin but they didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. I made them again recently and completely changed them up and will share them with you soon!
I loved, loved the french toast casserole and it was a hit with everyone who attended. The bourbon creme anglaise was amazing. It's a simple recipe with milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt and bourbon. You can't go wrong with those ingredients.
Virginia was so sweet to let me share the recipe for the french toast casserole with you below, it comes from her book: Bon Appetit, Y'all: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking. To get the bourbon creme anglaise recipe, hop over to her site.
