Glenna’s Brunch Eggs

from the kitchen of Glenna Hagler
12-18 large eggs
8 oz Swiss cheese, grated
Half and half or whipping cream
Parmesan or Romano cheese
Paprika
Olive oil, for the pan

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Prepare a 9×13 casserole dish with a small amount of olive oil. Spread an even layer of Swiss cheese on the bottom of the pan. Place eggs on top of cheese without breaking the yolks (if you can!).

Pour enough half and half or whipping cream to fill in the gaps made by the eggs. Be conservative on the liquid here — use just enough. Too much will increase your baking time.

Bake in oven about 10 minutes, just long enough for the eggs to look a bit cooked but not done. Remove from oven and top with Parmesan and paprika and return to oven.

Cook another 10 minutes or until set. Serves 4-6 people as a main course. You may substitute Cheddar, Colby or Monterey Jack cheese for the Swiss.
