Eggs Tetrazzini

Submitted by Denise in NH

"I was searching through an old recipe box that I have had for 30 years or more. I came upon this recipe that I must have copied out of a magazine. I decided to give it a try last night and it was really very good. Would also be a good brunch dish. I made the recipe as written, but next time I make it, I will probably add some garlic and maybe some crumbled bacon. A very easy dish to throw together."

Excellent! It's become a staple in my house. I have made it several times, and have never used a bouillon cube and it turns out great. Quick, easy & so tasty!

Loved it! I accidentally used cayenne instead of paprika (label was peeled off spice jar) and it gave it a nice kick. Will try it with paprika next time. I also did add the bacon--nice touch, good flavor. Easy and delicious!

Really great comfort food. I did alter the recipe some, using suggestions from other reviewers and adding my own spin. But, I'm sure the recipe is delicious as written. I add veggies to most of my cooking any time I can, so that was my twist. This recipe seemed to lend itself to it. I added fresh sauteed mushroom, asparagus and a bit of minced red bell pepper. I think the veggies really added visually, as well as adding flavor, and texture. Then, as per other reviewers, I skipped the bullion, and added some cayenne. This recipe is so flexible and I'm looking forward to making it again with other add-ins. Thanks for sharing!

THANK YOU. I had lost my 40 year old recipe cut off a box of spaghetti and couldn't quite remember what went in it except I liked it. Have Pinned it so it won't get lost again.
