TEXAS LIZARD EGGS
This comes from the food section of the Houston Chronicle. I made some for a Super Bowl get-together yesterday and everyone loved them. I used a roll of regular and a roll of hot sausage and stuck toothpick "stems" in the eggs so nibblers could tell the difference. Use smallish jalapenos for this recipe.You will find that they are not very "jalapeno" hot,but they do have that flavor-great for parties!

TEXAS EGGS
Steps:
- If using fresh mushrooms, saute gently over medium heat in 1 T of the butter until the liquid has evaporated. Mix eggs with milk, then scramble in remaining butter over medium low heat, adding the S&P as they cook. Meanwhile, mix soup, sherry and mushrooms in a medium mixing bowl. Then layer scrambled eggs, soup mixture, then cheese in at least two layers in a medium casserole dish. Cover and chill overnight. The next morning (or afternoon), bring to room temperature, setting out for at least 30 min. Preheat oven to 300 degrees and bake for 50 minutes. Serve hot.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh eggs.
- If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a non-stick skillet instead. Just make sure to preheat the skillet over medium heat before adding the eggs.
- If you like a crispy egg, cook it for a few minutes longer on each side.
- If you want to add cheese, salsa, or other toppings to your eggs, do so after they have been cooked.
- Serve Texas eggs with your favorite sides, such as toast, hash browns, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Texas eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish. They are perfect for a quick and simple meal or a hearty start to your day. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic Texan dish at home.
