"Great breakfast or brunch item. Can be made the evening before, put in the refrigerator, then put into the oven to bake the next morning. I like to serve it with sausages and biscuits on the side. Great meal for guests."

I usually made this Egg Puff with only a can of minced green chilies... I had the additional ingredients to use up and decided to try it (green & red pepper, mushrooms, onions).... The flavor is different, but great in its own right... The only thing I would do is to increase the salt, bc there's 4 additional ingredients (2 cups additional) added. Great recipe! Thank you!

We enjoyed this..thankyou! I added the ham and it was really tasty. It's always nice to have a variety of breakfast dishes and this one will be added to my collection. It's a keeper!

Delicious!! I doubled the ingredient amounts and baked in a 9x13" pan for 45 mins. I used colby/jack cheese and served topped with sour cream and salsa. I think that this recipe would be great with some added cubed ham. I think I'll try that next time! My family loved this and claimed it to be a keeper. Thank you for sharing.
