Cobbled together from several recipes I found in several places. Feel free to add sauteed greens, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, or any other soft (or precooked) vegetable you have on hand. Substitute ham, turkey or other meat for the bacon, or leave it out.
Ingredients:
6 small tomatoes, about 1/2 lb
7 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or a combination, about 1/4 lb) or 1 cup monterey jack cheese (or a combination, about 1/4 lb)
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (about 1 ounce)
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse dijon mustard
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb challah, cut in 3/4-inch cubes
1/4 lb bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
1 cup frozen peas
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 13x9x2 baking pan with non-stick spray.
2. Halve tomatoes and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until soft and beginning to shrivel, about 30 minutes. Cut each half in four pieces; if they slip off their skins, so much the better.
3. Whisk eggs, milk, sour cream, cheese, mustard, salt, and pepper together.
4. Toss tomatoes, bread, bacon, and peas to combine. Pour into baking dish and pour egg mixture over. Cover with aluminum foil and let stand 10 minutes.
5. Transfer covered pan to oven and bake 20 minutes, then uncover and bake 20-30 minutes more, until puffy and cheese is golden brown.
