"I was recently visiting my sister back east and she was experimenting recipes on me. This was one that came home with me!!! Works well as part of a brunch menu served with fruit salad --or-- a light dinner."

This was excellent, and I had it for breakfast this Sunday morning. The variation I had was whole wheat/buttered toast, fresh sliced mushrooms, and sliced zucchini. What a tasty treat, since I was on my own this morning! Instead of fresh parsley, I used dried. Thanks again! :)
