This will surprise you at the end!!! It will raise about to the top of your Dutch Oven

10 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup diced cooked ham
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat and oil your 12" regular Dutch Oven to 375°F. Lightly grease with olive oil if you like. While your Dutch Oven is preheating.....
2. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and whisk in the milk. Stir in the cheese, diced ham, and parsley. Season with the salt and pepper and pour into your 12" Dutch Oven.
3. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.

Now to get 375°F in your Dutch Oven put 17 on top and 11 on the bottom. You will notice I put a few more on the top. That way it will brown the egg omelet on the top a little more. Remember when you see steam coming out from under the lid you know it is done.

This is a Boy Scout Recipe that was given to us so we had to try it in one of our classes. When I went to clean the Dutch Oven it was all gone and I mean gone!!!

3 Cans of your favorite Chili
1 Onion - chopped
1 Dozen Eggs, shake on top Log Cabin Seasoning!!
8 Slices of Bacon - you can either cut it up into 1/2 inch sizes or cook and crumble later.
Some Cheese to top with - we used the Mexican 3 Cheese Mix

Directions:
1. Warm your 12" regular Dutch Oven - You can also do this in a 12" Fry Pan.
2. Put your Bacon in and cook till done.
3. Take Bacon out cook all the Eggs = scrambled
4. If you are using the fry pan method put your cans of Chili in your 12" Dutch Oven.
5. Heat till you get it the warmth you like.
6. When heated through add chopped onions on top, then the Scrambled Eggs, then the Bacon. Top with the Cheese or let people add how much cheese they would like.
7. Bake at 350 degrees till hot = 15 on top and 10 on the bottom
8. You can also top with Sour Cream or Salsa!!

Ingredients

• 1/2 rotisserie chicken, white and dark meat shredded, skin discarded
• One 12-ounce jar tomatillo salsa
• 1 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce, plus more for serving
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 fresh corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch squares
• Kosher salt
• 4 large eggs
• Mexican Crema, for drizzling or Sour cream
• 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and tender stems (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 white onion, minced (about 1/4 cup) or more if you like
• 4 ounces queso fresco, crumbled = Mexican cheese, white in color
• 2 limes, wedged, for garnish

Directions

1. Add the chicken, salsa and hot sauce to a medium saucepot with a lid. Place over low heat to warm through.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add half the corn tortillas, increase the heat to high and fry the tortillas, stirring constantly, until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Once crisp, pour the chips onto a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and generously season with salt. Add 1 more tablespoon butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
3. Wipe out the cast iron skillet and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, gently crack the eggs into the skillet. Once the whites are just beginning to set and turn white, partially cover the skillet with the lid and let the eggs cook through, 1 or 2 minutes for sunny-side up.
4. To build your chilaquiles, plate a generous pile of fried tortillas and top with the tomatillo smothered shredded chicken. Drizzle over some crema, sprinkle some cilantro leaves and white onion, crumble some cheese over top and finally top it all with a beautifully fried egg. Serve with lime wedges and additional hot sauce on the side.

Chilaquiles-Fried Eggs

Crazy But Very Fun to do!! They taste just like boiled eggs!!

What ever size Dutch Oven you want to use. We used a 10"
12 or more
At least 1 week old eggs any color any size.

Directions:
1. Use your 10" regular Dutch Oven & I put a little oil in it.
2. Make sure your eggs are at room temp.
3. Put eggs with the shell on in the Dutch Oven
4. Put the lid on
5. Cook at 325 or 350 for 1/2 hour. 13 Briquettes on the top and 8 on the bottom
6. If you want to tell if the egg is baked after 1/2 hour spin it. If it spins nicely you have it all the way done. If not cook a little more.
7. If you have some ice water put them in it when done that way it will stop them from cooking. About 10 min.

Up-dates = the next time I do this I will put a trivet in the bottom so the eggs do not have to sit on the bottom of the dutch oven. That way you will not get brown cooked marks on the eggs.
If you are baking a lot of eggs make sure they have some room for the eggs to expand a little and put the pointy end up. This way you will not crack them while you are cooking.
When trying to spin the egg to make sure it is done they are HOT!! Use a Hot pad or something for your fingers.

Maple Syrup if you want

Directions:
1. Warm your 12" regular Dutch Oven then add the Butter

3. When the better is melted add to DO.
4. Add half of the Raspberry's

Serves 4 to 6 People

2 Apples (peeled & sliced)
2 lbs. Sausage
9 Slices of Bread (cubed)
3/4 tsp. Mustard (optional)
9 Eggs (beaten)
3 Cups Milk
1 Cup Shredded Cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat and oil your 12" regular Dutch Oven to 375°F.
2. Cook and remove the Sausage, Saute apples in the sausage drippings. If you have a lot of oil from the sausage you might want to take some of it out too!!
3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and whisk in the milk then add the bread. Next stir in the cheese, Season with the salt and pepper and pour into your 12" Dutch Oven.
4. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.

Now to get 350°F in your Dutch Oven put 15 on top and 10 on the bottom. That way it will brown the egg omelet on the top a little more. Remember when you see steam coming out from under the lid you know it is done.
