"When I saw this recipe I thought you have GOT to be kidding me. Didn't see this exact one posted here, so I'm posting it for future reference. Would take me more like 45 minutes to make I'm sure. She says it serves 4, I think it would serve more like 8 if you add a side or salad. One day I might actually get up the nerve to make it. Edited to add amounts since she often uses a handful of this or that."

I made this for my family of 5 and no one liked it. I like a lot of Rachael Ray's recipes but certainly not this one. I think it has too much egg and it is very very dry. We ended up just throwing it out and eating something else.
