This is a fantastic high protein, low fat lunch option! I am a big cilantro fan, so I added more. I also have experimented with this recipe and tried goat cheese instead of cheddar and added spinach along with the tomatoes. Still awesome!

We had this for breakfast this morning and it was excellent! The flavor of the cilantro with the other ingredients was just perfect. The only suggestion I would have would be to increase the portion size from one egg to two per person. I was left wanting more! Thanks for sharing. ~Sue

Delish! I ended up wrapping the end results in a flour tortilla, and loved it! I tried to limit the cilantro, but in the end, I added more than was asked for in the recipe. Great recipe!

I made the full recipe using a fresh roma tomato picked off the vine and sweet basil from the herbe garden in place of the cilantro/coriander and I used a vintage sharp cheddar and served with slices of toasted wholemeal/wholegrain bread and the DM, DS and myself had a wonderful feast for breakfast. Thank you PaulaG, made for Partying the Diabetic Way.

I love eggs and am always looking for new ways to make them. This is now my new favorite! Easy and full of flavor. Cilantro is my favorite herb, so I used a little more, and I lessened the olive oil, but otherwise made exactly as written. Thanks! I will be making this alot!
