This made a fabulous breakfast for my injured dd & I! I did use some cream. I also sprinkled a little extra cinnamon on top before baking. I only wish it had been creamier. I think only 20 minutes baking time is sufficient in my oven. I absolutely LOVE the crispy crunchy top! The hint of lemon every so often is nice! Made for German Tag Contest 5/12. Thank you for a delicious dish!
