I made this for Easter brunch and it was fantastic! I doubled the recipe and followed it as written though didn't have enough cream cheese to double that. It really is rich and luxurious and had us all going back for seconds. This will be my dish of choice from now on when whenever I'm having guests for breakfast. Thank you for this winner Reed.

"Luxury Splendid" indeed! These are wonderful - a perfect indulgence that's fast and easy to put together. I didn't use the cream, but they were still awesome. Thanks for posting this recipe! I can't wait to try it with spinach replacing the herbs -- it's just too yummy.
