Crockpot Christmas Breakfast
Hey All -
Happy Friday! So we have a tradition at our house...Santa (we have an 8 year old chicklet) comes Christmas Eve and when we wake up Christmas Morning Santa has done something special for us ....a fancy art project, candy canes all over the house, trails of Reindeer poop (rasinettes) etc. So I was thinking if Santa could make a yummy breakfast so this Mr. and Mrs. Claus could wake up in the morning and have breakfast ready from Santa it would be awesome! The little one would flip! It is kind of like doing Elf on the Shelf one time! Plus Santa is bringing me a new coffee pot as well as a new crockpot this year.......
Does anyone have any WLS friendly recipies for egg bake I could jam in a crockpot? I have a wonder pouch - I can tolerate most everything and my tummy LOVES eggs, cheese, ham etc.
Thanks! Happy Holidays!
last year i made a taco type of breakfast eggy quesh thngy...and yes thats about what it was...i had a receipe, but totally just winged it....and now i cant remember what it was....but i had googled breakfast queshes.. and lots came up....it was a cross between the egg soaked bread, bread pudding but with taco meat in it....i made a ham n cheese one and a taco one, had some plain greek yogurt to put on top....everyone loved the taco one....it got atie first....i did not do them in the crock pot, as i had made them the night before, and then got up early and plopped in oven and let them cook and went back to bed....for a short bit....
if i can find it again, i will post..but i just gooled and kind of switched it up and winged it to what i had on hand..
you could do steel cut oatmeal in the crock pot, i have seen lots of those receips on the web....mix it all together in the day and let sit, then when head to bed, put in **** pot and cook over night.....on low....add raisines, nuts, cinn, dried fruits etc....then just add a little milk or cream in the morning...
good luck with your new toys...

One we do with the oven alot is;
1 dz eggs or egg whites
1/4 cup milk or water
2 cans medium/mild chopped green chilies
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
My kids love chili relenos (prob spelled wrong). So we came up with a dish with the same flavor but ALOT less work. lol.
Spray a casserole dish with vegetable spray. Beat eggs or egg whites till frothy. Add a splash of milk or water and wisk a bit more. Pour into dish. Add the 2 cans of chilies, stir around to spread out. And sprinkle the cheese on top. Put in oven at 350 for I think 25 to 30 minutes or until done. It would prob work in a crock pot. I will have to try it.
