This was a nice, quick recipe to prepare for Christmas morning. We left out the bell pepper (not fans) and added a little minced garlic to the onion sauté. I also added a touch of dried basil and thyme to the eggs. My husband enjoyed it quite a bit. Another plus is that I only used two dishes to make it so I didn't have to wash a lot of pots and bowls to prepare Christmas dinner. Thanks for sharing.
