Decided to try this for breakfast this morning. Doubled it. Think it was a 10x14 pan? that I used. It's just slightly bigger than my 9x13 pans. <br/>Used half milk and half half-and-half cream. Red onion, 4 shakes of cayenne. 1/2 t garlic powder and an 8 oz can of tomato sauce and whatever else you had in your recipe. Chose salami, red pepper, black olives, mozzarella and cheddar for our toppings. Had to cook it a wee bit longer because of doubling it.<br/>Hubby and I really liked it. Daughters - not so much. What do they know. They insisted they don%u2019t like eggs. Ugh! Who cares, this will be a regular. Thanks you.

This was super easy to make but it was really eggy, too much for me but if you love strata type dishes this is a great one! Plus all the ingredients are pantry handy and I was able to find the recipe and make it for lunch right away!

This is a really quick and easy recipe! I throw this together when I didn't have anything else planned for supper. My DS and DH just loved it, they fought over the leftovers! DS thought I made a pizza for supper. I left out the green peppers and black olives and used Turkey pepperoni. I will be making this again! Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe.

The was a really easy, tasty dish! It tasted like a pizza quiche, and I normally stay away from quiche, but this was good. I was a little woried at first because the sides were rising so high above the pan, but it did settle down. I also cooked mine in a 9in round cake pan, and had the greek salad #66596 w/it. Thnx for the recipe!
