It's perfect. I would recommend AGAINST a 9x13 pan, tho, unless you increase the recipe. ;) I think an 11x7 would be good but not positive. It was still delicious. I had some gruyere that I shredded for something last week that I used. The only thing....when I see 'grated cheese,' I automatically think Parmesan/Romano/etc. Perhaps change it to 'cheese of your choice, shredded or grated'. Unless you meant Parm or Romano. :o Regardless, this made a wonderful breakfast & is total comfort food! Made for My3Chefs 6/12.
