Great recipe, exactly what I was looking for. I added 1 lb. of sage sausage, but other than that made as written. It was a perfect Christmas brunch. Served the leftovers sliced in tortillas - great!

A great , simple recipe that lends it self to experimentation. Don't be afraid to cook the entire set of ingredients. It tastes great rewarmed too!

I cut the recipe in half using my frozen (thawed) roasted hot green chiles (used the full amount). So yummy! I covered with foil the last 5 minutes of bake time.
