I'm so proud to be the first to review this recipe. I have to admit to some concern prior to making this as was just not sure how it would turn out. Well, have to tell you it was very good and pretty easy to make as I had left over rice from the night before already prepared. I did cut the recipe in half for 2 of us, I used an Italian mix shredded cheese as that's what I had on hand, then added a some red bell pepper and some fresh chopped cilantro to the mix, next time might even add a little jalapeno for some extra zing. Be careful not to over steam the eggs past your desired doneness. A very good recipe as it stands and lends itself to a wide variety of options. Made for Spring PAC 2013
