a mother's love and a farmhouse egg bake

Our family has been settling into more of a routine now that there are five of us. The boys have been able to get outside to play more and the fresh spring air always feels like a welcome reprieve from the chilly winter air.

The chickens have also settled in quite nicely. If you have visited the creamery recently, you have likely noticed the chickens’ friendly nature. They are producing more eggs, so we are always trying to find ways to incorporate our farm-fresh eggs into our meals.

This month's recipe uses our free range eggs and our Cows & Co gouda. It is a breakfast that our whole family truly enjoys. This time of year, we are often finding ways to simplify life inside so we can get outside. This breakfast egg bake is one of those recipes that may seem time consuming, but is surprisingly easy to prepare. It can be assembled the night before and baked off the morning of serving. We love to enjoy this on our patio with a hot latte. It would also be the perfect brunch to serve for the mom in your life this Mother's Day.

Moms have an incredible ability to make us feel loved and cherished. Whether it’s your own mom or a bonus mom, their love and caring nature knows no bounds. This egg bake is inspired by someone who made Casey and I feel the same way growing up. Jamie treated us like one of her own and always prepared the most comforting meals that felt like a warm hug when you savored them. Her egg bake recipe was undoubtedly one of those comforting meals. Thank you for being you, Jamie. We love you and your food!
