Yesterday I attempted to make a Sausage egg and cheese casserole (fratata?) in the slow cooker. When I got home from work and checked it, it looked beautiful, smelled wonderful. Baby Girl wouldn't even try it when it was time to dish it up and eat (I have a hard time getting her to try new things). DH only took a few bites and he was done... UH OH. Bubba and I ate two helpings, Bubba loved it, myself, it was ok, but I was really hungry. I mentioned to DH that I thought it would taste better with salsa on it, maybe a dollop of sour cream, kinda like a Mexican omelet type taste then it hit me, hmmm maybe I'll try this again with some changes!
How I made the flop:
I layered bread, sausage ( cooked and crumpled) and shredded cheddar in the slow cooker, beat eggs mixed with milk and poured over the layers and cooked on low all day.
Now, this did come out at a good "fratata" consistency, although it did cook too long and was beginning to burn on the bottom and edges. Also DH and I both noted a cinnamon or nutmeg hint. I'm wondering if that could be from using the wheat bread?
What I will try differently:
bread ( I'll use white) sausage, shredded cheddar, and with the eggs instead of mixing with milk I will mix in my favorite thick and chunky salsa.
Well, it will probably be awhile before I even attempt this one, but if I do make it with the changes I'll post the outcome!
