Made these in individual servings and finished the last step in the oven (in those small oven proof ceramic dishes). FANTASTIC. It was easier to control how each person wished to have their eggs that way. LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. Served with various breads, Very easy really. Can be prepared all the way till putting the eggs in the night before.

Great recipe for method and starting off point for me to add more vegetable and use ingredients I had. Liked this recipe for the Italian seasoning. Used chunky marinara that I had left over. First sauted in broth 1/4 cup onion, with garlic, and Penzeys pizza seasoning along with basil, oregano, and a shake of cumin. Then added 1 bag of cooked frozen rainbow chard to sauce and when all hot added eggs in the mixture and covered till done. Loved this. Will make often.

It's a big city now, with all the big city advantages and disadvantages. I miss the small town feel but love the restaurant choices and the people friendly improvements.
My writing is mainly non fiction on historical bits, and I have brief and so far unsuccessful forays into historical fiction. Someday.....
I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures. It's heaven!
