Kyle’s Kitchen
Former Rockdalians Karen and Terry Stuller were in town briefly last week and Mom and Dad hosted a brunch for them. The food was good, and I had a request for the recipes made that day. The brunch lasted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Even in my younger brunching days I don’t think I ever went to one that lasted that long.
For those readers who remember the Stullers, they look exactly the same as you remember them. So cute!
Here is the main course.
Eggs Florentine Casserole
1 package of bacon, cooked crisp, drained well and chopped 8 oz. grated cheddar cheese 1 package fresh baby spinach 1 dozen eggs 1 pint whipping cream Fresh mushrooms, sliced Salt and pepper Red pepper flakes Can be prepared the night before cooking and serving. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Layer cooked bacon in bottom of pan. Sprinkle half of cheese over meat. Spread fresh spinach over this. Break eggs into a bowl and stir with a fork.. Add remaining cheese. Break eggs into a bowl and stir with a fork. Mix cream and eggs together before pouring over all. Place sliced mushrooms in a layer on top. Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes or until firm. Can substitute brown and serve sausages for the bacon.

was also served.

—kwc— Last but not least, here is Annette Griesbach’s coffee cake recipe which I shouldn’t have tried but couldn’t resist. It was totally worth it. Annette says this freezes well.
