deYoung Museum Trip

I have written about the deYoung Museum before, so I am sorry to repeat myself. But if you have not been, you need to go. The art collection is quite good, but what capture’s my eye is the stunning park, land and cityscapes. It is eye candy for the urbanite, and for you country folk it will give you an understanding of why I love the city. For those of you that don’t know, the deYoung is a public museum, that was built with private funds. Over 7000 people donated a total 190 million dollars to make it happen. On this trip I found a truly inspiring work, our friend Terry’s name on the entry way.

Marylyn’s Breakfast Casserole

I generally don’t like complex recipes for breakfast. I am basically a scrambled eggs and bacon kind of guy. I love the complex stuff, but I am too lazy to get up and do it. Lisa was hosting a baby shower for a work friend, so the motivation was there, and Lisa’s mother supplied the recipe. This is not complicated and can be put together quickly with basic ingredients.

16 slices of break
8 slices of ham
8 slices of mild cheddar cheese (or any other cheese you like)
6 eggs
3 cups of milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp dry mustard
1 cup melted butter

Remove crusts from break.
Grease a 9x13 glass baking pan.
Lay 8 slices of bread on the bottom of the pan.
Arrange the ham evenly on top of the bread.
Arrange the cheese evenly on top of the ham.
Arrange the remaining 8 slices of bread on top.
Beat the eggs well, then add the milk, 1/2 cup of butter, salt and mustard and poor evenly over the bread.
Dice the bread crusts and toss with remaining ½ cup of butter. Spread evenly over the top of the pan.

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.
Serve while hot.
