It was my turn for an office breakfast and I really wanted to do something cool and fun but the foundation of my goal started with scrambled eggs. There wasn’t a bunch of time in the morning to scramble a bunch of eggs and I really didn’t want them to be dried out.

I was searching through Pinterest for a scrambled egg crockpot recipe but I couldn’t find one that slow cooked overnight. I’m guessing it was because of the fact that eggs cook extremely quickly and would thus dry out.

I did however come across this recipe that I found to be quite awesome: http://busycooks.about.com/od/eggentreerecipes/r/makeaheadeggs.htm

The description stated that the creators of the recipe made this for kids taking standardized tests every year. I thought that this had to be good if it’s something that kids liked, so I went with it.

What you’ll need for one batch:

• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. salt

I needed more. So I doubled everything:

• 24 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 Tbsp. butter
• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. salt

In a skillet, I melted the butter.

I put all of the eggs in a bowl with the cream, salt and pepper, and whisked them together until the yolks were broken and the blend was well-mixed.

Then I scrambled the eggs.

After the eggs were scrambled, I mixed in the sour cream, salt, and pepper.

I then put it in a large baking bar pan.

Covered it with cheese and a little more pepper. Covered with with aluminum foil and popped it in the fridge for it to sit over night.

The next day, I got up 30 mins early, preheated the oven to 350 and popped it in their to bake for 20 minutes.

Once done, it looks like a casserole, BUT it breaks up like fresh, juicy scrambled eggs with a boatload of flavor.

I just popped these into a large bowl with a lid and brought them with me along with everything else for breakfast (post to follow)!

The kicker about all of this is that I wasn’t able to have a single bite because I’m on a cleanse. After it’s over, I think I’ll have a family breakfast at my house where we can fellowship over good food and great company.
