We make something similar to the baked eggs and call them “eggies”. We add vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and mushrooms. We add cubed ham and top with cheese. 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Has anyone tried the salad dressing cake? Have you tried it with different kinds of salad dressing? Do they mean literally salad dressing or Miracle Whip?
I remember as a young teen being asked to make egg salad. Mom said to add salad dressing to the mix. I added ranch dressing. She meant Miracle Whip. Oops.
