This was very good! My only complaints are that the prep took closer to 20 minutes, and the cook time turned out to be 24 minutes for me. I did double the amount of cheese I included, and I also added a couple roasted red potatoes that I wanted to use up. They proved to be a nice addition. I did drain most of the bacon grease, since I didn't have turkey bacon, and had to use regular bacon. (Maybe that takes longer to crisp, giving me the longer prep?>) Overall, I like this recipe, and (after the first slice), it came out of the pan beautifully.
