Brunch-style eggs? Or Eggs on the go? You decide!

I have started here with about 1 cup of chopped chorizo, placed it in my 8" Saute Pan to brown.  This is what I had in the fridge...you could take bacon or sausage.  If you vary the meat choice, just be sure that your meat ends up in little pieces like you see in the picture.

9 large eggs in my Classic Batter Bowl

diced veggies - whatever you have will work!  Here I have diced up a medium onion, about 1/3 of a red bell pepper, and about 10 stalks of asparagus.  Note the sizes of the dice...it needs to be small (you'll see why in a minute!)

ENTER.......our BRAND NEW Pampered Chef Brownie Pan! ($19 available here). 

Beat the eggs, adding in the browned chorizo (or your meat selection), 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used a mix of Mexican Blend & Italian Blend...because it's what I had on hand!), diced onions, salt, pepper.  This is where you would add all of your diced veggies...you will see what I did in the next step since I have a 17 year old who does not like asparagus in our home.  Here is also where you could add your hot sauce, garlic powder, etc.  MAKE IT YOUR OWN!  The sky is the limit here! 

Pour the egg mixture into the squares...they fill about 3/4 of the way.  Here is where I made separate asparagus and red pepper egg squares...I just sprinkled them in!  No need to grease or coat this pan WHATSOEVER!  Nothing sticks to it!  I then placed this into a 350 degree oven for 11 minutes.  And here is what you get!.........

These are done.  They are firm.  Some of them were a tad bit gooey on the top...this was cheese, not raw egg.  (I tasted it...totally cheese). 

Up close and personal...sorry if it's blurry.  You can see the square is pulled away from the sides...easy removal!  Nothing sticks!

Final product.  You can see that the sides are soft, nothing is burnt, nothing is overdone.  You can pick this up and eat it with your hands...I'm thinking "breakfast on the go" for our teenagers (or spouses who are running!).  You could freeze these and then warm them up in the microwave.  Just think...you'd actually KNOW what's in your breakfast food!  Another thought here...excellent use for the "little bit of this" and the "little bit of that" veggies that are left in the crisper, but not enough for a serving.

Let me know your thoughts...I'd love to hear them!  I am in love with this pan...it has so many uses!  If you are interested in purchasing the Brownie Pan, you can go here and purchase directly from my website.
