These were great! DH, who never gives five star ratings, said he would give this a very high four, which basically means it was close to perfect. The taste was great, and I love the fact that you can prepare it in the time it takes the oven to preheat. The texture is nice and it doesn't taste too "eggy". I used a 4 ounce can of green chiles in place of the jalapeno since my little ones were (hopefully) going to be eating some and I wanted a bit less heat. Everyone had seconds, including my one-year-old and very finicky almost-three-year-old. These will be great to freeze in individual squares to quickly pop in the microwave on busy mornings. I might reduce the cheese next time just to reduce the fat a bit, or possibly use low-fat cheese. I did use a mexican-blend cheese, but I think almost any cheese would be great. This goes in the permanent file...thanks ratherbeswimmin'!
