A very filling and scrumptiously good breakfast which I served with a wholegrain English muffin and the only change I made was to use red capsicum/bell pepper instead of green. Made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

I cooked this up for my DH this morning and he gave it 5 stars! I left out the mushrooms(didn't have) and added a few more of the other veggies. My DH ate it with ketchup. Thanks Kitten!

A wonderful breakfast. I used a bit of water to soften the veggies in place of the butter and fat free evaporated milk for the cream with low fat cheese and a bit more green pepper. I topped it with some warmed salsa and enjoyed it completely. A healthy and cheerful wake up meal

It is often difficult to add fresh veggies to breakfast or brunch and this recipe really helped out. I reduced the amount of butter and used fresh from the garden bell peppers and tomatoes. I used egg substitute for the eggs. Nice and tasty and packed full of vegetables. Thanks
