Submitted by Heart N Soul

"This recipe makes the weekend family breakfasts extra special and is a great way to get the kids to eat their vegetables! I found this one in the American Baby Magazine that features easy yet satisfying meals for busy Moms and Dads! I've tried this with many variations of vegetables and I have yet to be disapointed."

Easy and delicious! Just what you would want for a breakfast for dinner, a brunch or a weekend breakfast. Endless combinations to be had with the basic measurements: I had leftover, sauteed, red and green peppers and onions. Those were the veg I used and for my cheese I used finely shredded parmesan. I upped the pepper to 1/4 teaspoon and that was the only change I made. Num!

Very good! I made this yesterday as a little Mom's Day treat for us for lunch, and we all liked it a lot. I did make one change - I substituted chopped tomato and green pepper for the broccoli, but kept everything else the same. I will make this again for other brunches since it's so ggod and so easy to put together. Thanks.
