While I did enjoy the flavor of this dish, but I didn't care for the custard-like result. I would have preferred creamy, so if I do make this again (and I may) I won't put the eggs in. It was very easy to make. I don't think the French Fried Onions made much of a contribution, so you could probably skip those if you don't have them and be fine.
