Eggs Rio Grande


We had this meal when we stayed at an amazing bed and breakfast in Tahoe. It was called the Black Bear Inn. I like the meal so much that I bought their cookbook. I came home and made it for my kidos. They all loved it. Here is the first recipe. You can serve it with a small dollop of sour cream.

Eggs Rio Grande
INGREDIENTS FOR 8 SERVINGS:
8 Eggs
1/3 C. Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1 (16 oz.) Container Cottage Cheese
1 (4oz.) Can Diced Green Chilies (Mild)
Pinch of Salt
2 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Lb. Sausage, Browned and Drained (I used maple flavored)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, until just mixed. Whisk in flour a little at a time, then add baking powder. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture into a prepared 9 x 13 pan and stir slightly for even distribution. Bake for 50 minutes.
COMMENTS: for another variation, substitute Monterey Jack cheese for the cheddar and add ½ C. loosely packed cilantro, chopped.
I made this recipe the night before. I just had to wake up and pop it in the oven.

Roasted New Potatoes
INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS:
6 lb. New Potatoes
4 Cloves Garlic, diced
2 Tbs. Fresh Rosemary, Chopped
½ C. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Slice the potatoes into small pieces. Place in metal baking pan. Drizzle oil over potatoes, then add all remaining ingredients. Bake for 1 hours. Baking time may vary.

Baked Peaches with Craisens
INGREDIENTS FOR 6 SERVINGS:
2 Cans of Peaches
1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Vanilla
2 Tbs. Brown Sugar
2 Tbs. Craisens
Shredded Coconut (optional)
Fresh Sliced Strawberries or Blueberries (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 200. Open and drain peaches, reserving juice. Pour juice into a large skillet. Add cinnamon, vanilla and brown sugar. Heat and stir. Fill 6 prepared ramekins nearly to the top with peaches and craisins. Pour sugar mixture over the top. Bake for 20 minutes just to warm it up. Top with coconut or strawberries or blueberries.
