This is good, and it's an easy breakfast. I added 1/3 cup French's crispy onions and 1 cup of Mexican 4-blend cheese to the 9" pie plate and it worked beautifully. After it finished baking, I served with salsa. Thanks for posting the basic to work with. UPDATE: this is what we prefer for a 9" pie: 1/2 cup crumbled bacon(5-6 pieces), 1 cup (8oz.)sliced mushrooms (sauteed first with garlic and green onion in a little butter and sherry) with 3/4 cup mexican belnd cheese. Bake for one hour. Made for a light dinner.

Endless possibilities! I used the nine inch recipe with sage sausage,cheddar and hash browns for brunch. On another day, the 10 inch recipe in a quiche dish with salmon, cheddar and baby peas for a late dinner. This could not be easier to make and is very, very good. Thank you!
