I loved this!! As recommended, we had this Christmas morning. The flavors go well together. One thing I figured out (since I'm neither very intelligent, nor an experienced cook) was that the melted butter, if still hot, will sort of cook the eggs. So you kind of have to watch for that. No big deal, just something I noticed. I plan to make this again one day.

Great Dish, Thanks Tammie. I made a 4x batch for a brunch at work. EVERYBODY raved about it. I had to cook about 90 minutes as the pan was relativly deep. Next time I would take it out of the fridge a bit earlier so it came to room temp prior to cooking.

I make a receipe almost excatly the same to this one (mine's bigger) for Christmas except it has 1 cup of diced peeled apples in it. It is very yummy! Super simple to make and great because it's cooking while we start opening gifts.
