I made these for a family brunch to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. I substituted turkey sausage crumbles for the veggie sausage and 2% mexican blend cheese for the regular cheese, then only added 1/2 tsp of cumin. They turned out GREAT and were a huge hit at the party. I do think 1 tsp of cumin would have been way too much, but overall this is a great recipe and will be made at every family brunch from now on. Thanks so much for a new family favorite!
