Oh my goodness but these are such good eggs! Completely different, delicious burst of flavors & bright colors. I scaled this down to just one serving for a quick and incredible breakfast - super flavor, easy to fix,& will be a new standard in my house. I stuffed mine into a pita bread pocket.

Great flavor, I did make a few modifications to lower the fat but stayed with the basic recipe/technique. This is easily prepared and would be great for any meal of the day. Thank you for sharing (modifications: sprayed pan w/ nonstick spray and used eggbeaters)

These were good and unique but not wow but we had to make due with what we had on hand so I felt it would not be fair to rate it less than 5 stars
