Today we’ve got two great baked breakfast entrées for you to try out courtesy of  The Heartstone Inn (Eureka Springs, AR): Artichoke Potato Quiche and Apple Cheddar Bake.  Both of these dishes are quick and easy to prepare while making nice presentations – the perfect way to start the weekend!

The Heartstone Inn’s Apple Cheddar Bake 

Serves 8

• 12 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
• 2 cups thin sliced Granny Smith apples
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Bisquick
• 2 cups milk
• 6 eggs
• Maple syrup

Evenly distribute apple slices in the bottom of a greased 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle apples with sugar. Top with cheese, then crumbled bacon. Whisk together slightly beaten eggs, milk and Bisquick. Pour batter over apples and cheese gently. Bake in 375 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve with warm maple syrup.

Note: For a pretty presentation we also use 8 individual ramekins and divide the apples, cheese and bacon among the dishes, then top with the egg mixture evenly. Bake for 30 minutes.

We serve this with fresh fruit, hash brown casserole and sausage links.
