1   tomato, chopped, divided

12 slices Bacon

1 cup  sliced fresh mushrooms

12 eggs

1/3 cup  Sour Cream

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 

 

HEAT oven to 325ºF.
RESERVE 2 Tbsp. each onions and tomatoes. Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add mushrooms to reserved drippings; cook and stir 2 min. or until tender. Remove from heat. Crumble bacon. Add to skillet with remaining onions and tomatoes; mix well.
BEAT eggs and sour cream with whisk until well blended. Pour into greased 13x9-inch baking dish; top with bacon mixture and cheeses.
BAKE 30 min. or until center is set. Top with reserved onions and tomatoes. Let stand 5 min. before cutting to serve.

* I leave the  mushrooms out, since one of my children doesn't like them.  It is fun to substitute other veggies.

I like to serve with whole wheat toast and juice (even at dinner time).
