Like other reviewers, I think this recipe could use a little tuning up with additional ingredients. As posted, the recipe is very bland. Serving it with salsa helped but if I made this again, I would add sauteed onion, spicier sausage or whatever to give it a little lift.

This was perfect for brunch this morning. I had one lonely tomato in the fridge that wanted to be made into something, so I chopped it up and added it to the eggs. I think mushrooms will go nicely in our next batch, and I'd also like to try making this in a dutch oven as well. This egg dish is light and fluffy, yet filling. Another keeper ... thank you Kittencal :)

I gave this 5 stars. I make this for breakfast and brunch. I add cooked ground sausage (jimmy deans), hot sauce and green pepper which I saute with my onions. My future hubby and I love this. I like to make a extra batch and freeze it then warm it in the oven and serve. Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe! Christine (internetnut)

Thank you for starting out my weekend with a delicious bang! This is a fantastic and versatile recipe. I made two changes because of what I had on hand. I used chopped ham instead of bacon and green pepper instead of green onion. I also baked it in a casserole dish and increased cooking time as you suggested. Yummy! It went right into my Favorites cookbook! Thank you Kitz, again!
