Weekend mornings were made for breakfast casseroles. You have a little more time to sit around, sip your coffee and wait patiently for something that will blow a hole in your cold cereal routine.
Chiles Rellenos Quiche seems to me to fit comfortably into our lives tomorrow morning, when we don’t have to leave the house until the luxuriously late 9 a.m.
One bonus of this one is that it doesn’t have to soak overnight, like a breakfast strata would. And there’s no fussing with a crust as with a traditional quiche. It just takes a cup of Bisquick, milk mixed up with the eggs and poured over green chiles and cheese in a baking dish. No muss, no fuss. Only yumminess reminiscient of my visit to a diner in Vail, Colo., the first place I ever had chiles rellenos. The casserole will be hard pressed to stand up to that experience, but it sure beats a fourth straight day of oatmeal.
