Birthday Brunch

Dimitri said:

Brain freeze time:

Sunday we're having a Birthday Brunch for one of the girls there should be 10 to
12 adults.

The honoree is the semi-vegetarian.

To Start Mimosas

Then Broiled Grapefruit halves
Chile Relleno Casserole
Fresh (very) Bagels with assorted spreads & cheeses
(maybe a home made coffee cake)
Mixed fruit cups or Strawberry Crepes with chocolate sauce.
Coffee (of course)

Comments - suggestions - changes?
The heat is still on out here.

Thanks

Dimitri

Thanks for the recipe - looks great.

I might put out a platter of cut-up fruit, along with a
strawberry-flavored/tinted fruit dip of some kind, instead of the
crepes - or, you could provide some chocolate fondue and pound cake
(maybe orange flavored pound cake) for the fruit pieces. I might make
pecan rolls instead of coffee cake, but that's just me. ;-)

Chile Relleno Casserole
1 ½ lbs. Monterey Jack Cheese (Grated)
1 ½ lbs. Cheddar Cheese (Grated)
2 large cans Whole Ortega Chiles
12 Eggs (Separated)
6 Tbsp. Flour
1 Cup Evaporated Milk

(THIS RECIPE MAKES ONE 9 x 13 and ONE 8 X 8 DISH)

Spray bottom of baking pans with PAM to prevent sticking problems for
cheese

1. Pull apart chiles into strips and layer half into
bottom of two 9 x 13 pans and cover with half the cheese. Repeat with
other half of chiles and cheese.

(At this point, you may want to cover and refrigerate until ready to
bake, or freeze until ready to bake.)

2. Beat egg whites with a fork until frothy.

3. Beat egg yolks with flour and milk, then add to egg
whites.

4. Pour evenly over cheese and chiles.

5. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until light
golden brown on top.

For those attending who are not semi-vegetarian or otherwise, I would
provide some sort of breakfast meat. Otherwise, I think you've got it
nailed.

Hmmm - Thanks for the ideas - the reason for the coffee cake is I have an on
BH&G cookbook that has a real no brainer coffee cake recipe (oil - quickbread)
that I used to use when the girls were young. It was the dumping ground for the
apples etc that didn't get used - I would also grate apples & cinnamon into
waffles. But you've given me an idea - I'll make a raspberry or strawberry
flavored crème fraise as a topping for the crepes.

Thanks

I'd like to try this, but the fractions came out as large pi signs
here.
