Apparently, I forgot to critique this! Made this a few months back for DH and I. . it was easy, filling, good flavor and DH loved it!

Thanks

Super easy and tasty but with a great payoff - even without the cheese. This is a great budget weeknight dinner that we make quite often. Very satisfying. Thanks for sharing!

Just had this for breakfast, scaled it down to 1. Quite rich but very nice! Also added some mushrooms and used mozzarella for the cheese. I think I'll try it stove top next time as the egg was a bit hard, and it would be quicker! Think I might make this for xmas breakfast for the family. Thanks for sharing Molly :)
