This recipe came from my high school home economics teacher, Mrs. Cimo. We made this in 1983 in one of our home economics classes. She had us use one of those cans of Hormel ham for the ham portion of the recipe.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Kathy. :)
DeleteIt sounds like a good recipe for teaching kids cooking techniques! I love a good egg bake.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a good recipe for teaching, Sam.
DeleteIt all sounds good. I have a can of that here.
ReplyDeleteI ordered some this week. It's been one of those items that seems to be sold out everywhere and has been hard to find lately.
DeleteIs it pretty after baking? Of course, you may flip it over before serving, I suppose. Loved high-school home ec. We made grape jelly from grape juice, too.

It is pretty after it comes out of the oven. I loved my high school home ec classes too as I learned to sew there. I don't know if they still offer those classes or not but I learned a lot there. :)
