This originally appeared in "Food and Wine" magazine (Feb. 2004) and it's a great recipe. I've made it for anywhere from 4 to 70+ people and it's always a success. Easy, easy, easy and always a hit. I like to use vanilla sugar for an extra "oomph". If you can get really fresh organic eggs from a local farmer, it's worth paying the extra $.
