Much better than it sounds, lol. I cooked it longer than specified and the yolks got pretty hard, but it was still delicious and something different. The half and half kind of mixed right in with the whites and made a souffle-like bed that tasted much better than plain egg whites. Next time I'll probably sprinkle on even more cheese. Thanks for a recipe that's quick and easy!

I must have done something wrong. The egg yolks cooked too much before the whites were set around the yolk. The flavor wasn't exceptional considering the additional calories & saturated fat grams of butter, cream and cheese. This sounded like a great idea; however, my family would have preferred plain fried or poached eggs.
