This made a wonderful brekky for supper. I do that quite often and this fit the bill nicely. A very filling and satisying supper for DH and DS. I did mine in a cast-iron skillet that browned things up nicely. My potatoes took 1/2 hour to fry up, but other than that, the directions were easy to follow and spot on. Made for HolidayTag. -
Lovely breakfast. I used hot sausage (I think regular would have been better) and served salsa and sour cream on the side. I cut the recipe in half and still had lots left over for tomorrow breakfast. Made for 123 tag. Thanks for sharing, Jackie. -
We made this for breakfast this morning and it was a hit with all! I love using Swiss cheese in anything. This was a great filling breakfast. Thanks for sharing. Made for Newest Zaar Tag. -
I too used hash browns (Simply Potatoes) & layered all the ingredients in an 8x8 glass pan, using 6 eggs. I just shoveled it in the over for about 35 min. Very good & since there's just the 2 of us - we have the added bonus of leftovers. I did add a sprinkle of garlic powder too. -
Delicious breakfast, I cut it in half and cooked it in a small skillet. I also used frozen shredded hashbrowns and pre-cooked sausage, which really cut down on the cooking time, so start to finish this was ready in 30 minutes. Great recipe, will make again, thanks for sharing!

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
