Is it even proper to post a BEFORE picture of something I am cooking? I mean, this looks absolutely disgusting by all standards. But looks are deceiving. This, my friends, is an egg bake. I cracked 12 eggs and whipped them. Then I added 4 rather large hot dogs, sliced, into the mixture. One whole bag of shredded cheese. I diced a nice sized onion and threw that in there. A little bit if spaghetti sauce (don't lose me here). 1 can of evaporated milk to fluff it. I have it in the oven right now at 350 degrees and it will cook for a little over an hour. It will set nicely, and will taste delicious. It looks like hell warmed over, I admit, in its current state. But trust me. This will be good. But this IS anti-climactic. I will tell you what. I will snap a picture of the finished product, and post it and you can tell me then what you REALLY think of this dish.

@porwest I ate so many of them for breakfast for like 3 years straight that I'm off of them these days.

@NJChicaa I have eaten eggs all my life and I never tire of them. But I do know what you mean. When I worked for Kraft Foods, I worked in the frozen pizza division where we made DiGiorno, Jacks, and Tombstone. We always had pizzas in the breakroom freezer and pizza ovens and so there was always frozen pizza available to eat on break. At first it was awesome. After a while it got old. lol

I wouldn’t eat hot dogs in mine, but I’ve made it with cheese, peppers, onions, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes... and I like to top it with a little sour cream and sriacha. Yum! And so easy to make.

Hot dogs in eggs is just good. But I like to use different meats. Sometimes I put bacon in it, sometimes sausage, other times meatballs...I have even done it with leftover pork. lol

Most food doesn't exactly look that good before it's complete. So, the finished product might actually be better than the orginal.

Egg bakes are one of my favorite ways to eat eggs other than scrambled or omelets. It's just good eats. But yes, the cooked product looks much better than the raw one. lol

@porwest I like using eggs as binders. I don't like to taste them.

We always enjoy it. I make it several different ways depending on my mood. I kept this one pretty simple.

You're right. That doesn't look appetizing at all. I will wait for the finished product.

It's really not. No worse than a batch of loaded scrambled eggs. Very filling though.

We're doing much the same for Christmas morning. We're calling it a casserole, lol.

I make frittatas with different meats and cheese. I would never think to put a hot dog in one but why not, it's like a round piece of baloney. Hope you enjoy

When I was a kid, I used to LOVE hot dogs cooked in scrambled eggs. To this day I still enjoy putting hot dogs in a batch of scrambled eggs.
