Who knew eggs could taste so good? I made these exactly as written (with the dried herbs) and served them on toasted english muffins. I considered trying to cut the recipe in half for just the two of us, and then decided not to..., just used 4 eggs, ...good thing, because there wasn't any left over. This is going to be a favorite "brunch" item at our house. Thanks, Petitfour!
