Easter Brunch and Egg Hunt

The Saturday before Easter, we hosted our second annual egg hunt and potluck brunch.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day (finally!) and we were so grateful to share the sunny morning eating, drinking, crafting (!?), visiting and hunting with our neighbors and friends.

Tie-dyed Easter eggs - super, super easy craft here  

Stained-glass Easter eggs - directions here 

I whipped up my own rendition of a casserole-style chicken chilaquiles that came out pretty edible:

10-12 corn tortillas

2-3 cups cooked, shredded chicken

1 8 oz. pkg. queso fresco

1 jar salsa verde

9 eggs, whisked with splash of milk

Crisp up the corn tortillas by either cutting them into strips and frying them in hot oil in a skillet or spraying with cooking spray and baking whole in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes; crush baked whole tortillas once they've cooled.  Spray bottom of 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.  Line bottom of dish with tortilla strips.  Distribute cooked chicken across top of chips, then break up queso fresco and sprinkle across top of chicken.  Pour salsa verde over chicken and cheese and top with whisked eggs.  Bake in 350 degree oven until center of eggs are set, 40-45 minutes.

You could serve this with all kinds of accoutrements - sour cream, sliced green onions, avocado slices, etc.
