I was very surprised at how well my family liked this dish. Although next time I will either use less ground red pepper or leave it out all together. Krisp69

Excellent flavor I used 1/2 tsp of cayenne flakes. Used fresh tomatoe (had a surplus on hand) it worked well even with cutting the recipe to 2 eggs. Love the touch of thyme. Because I only used 2 eggs my end result was thinner, more like an omelete but very delicious. Thanks for a great egg recipe Tish
