Congrats on your Week 13 Football Pool win!!! I made these yesterday morning for a friend and w both really enjoyed them. He asked for the recipe so he could make them again and that is highly unusual for him!

Super easy to make, tasted great and was a nice Sunday brunch on a cool day! We used Rotel tomatoes for a bit of a kick and the only thing we did wrong was overcook the eggs (DH likes the yolks runny) but that was our fault. Served with some buttery toast and homemade apple butter! This will definitely be made again!! Great recipe!! made for Your Football Pool win for Week 13!

This was really nice--we love it with a more Mexican flair, so added 1 t cumin, 2 cloves garlic, and a chopped jalapeno. Good stuff. made for 09 football pool, week #9.

Wow this was a nice way of serving eggs. I did have to make on change in that I did not have a can of plum tomatoes, so I used a can of diced tomatoes with chiles. Great results. Made for 09 football pool win, week #9.

Hubby and I liked the eggs prepared this way but with nothing to cut the acidity of the tomatoes we both found this a little on the tangy side. In our case "a spoonful of sugar" would have helped. I will make again but with a little tweaking. TFS. Made for New Kids on the Block, a tag game.
