  1. Very delicious! I served this as dinner for two, along with a green salad. The only changes I made were as follow: 1. Since I had no green onions, I substituted lots of chopped chives. 2. I used lowfat milk instead of half-and-half. Fantastic recipe!
     
  2. This was a great lunch meal! I had it with the bacon, because I indulged myself. :) A really nice recipe. UPDATE: Hubby made this for lunch today, and used rye bread crumbs - an excellent addition that makes the recipe even better!
     
  3. Tried this recipe yesterday and it looks awesome. I love the crumb crust better than a pie crust, makes it less heavy. My only problem was, as another stated, it came out a bit watery. I thought it was because I used onion instead of green onion. Will saute onion next time. I also cut away most of the inside of the tomato and the seeds, so I don't think the problem is with tomato. Definitely will try again. It tasted even better the next morning for breakfast.
     
  4. This was good, but seemed to lack something. I didn't like the crumb crust at all...would be better with a biscuit-type crust or a pie crust. I think that would've helped.
     
  5. I loved making this recipe twice with my 3 year old Granddaughter. It was lots of fun for both of us. We made a saute of chopped scallions, green pepper, celery and garlic along with sliced mushrooms, zucchini and summer squash. Then we spooned this mixture between layers of tomato and egg, milk and cheese mixture. It added considerably to the prep time but it was delicious. The accompanying photo by my daughter (hlkljgk) shows how good it looked!

I'm a married man who likes to cook. I love spicy foods but my wife does not, so I've developed ways to be able to make the spicy dishes I like at levels of heat she can handle. I also brew mead and beer.
