Made as per recipe. This recipe has potential, but if I was making it again I'd use less bread and add additional seasoning. Maybe Parmesan Cheese would give it a bit of a zing. I'd also add a couple of tblsps of flour to the agg mixture to give it a more quiche like texture. MAde for Aussie / Kiwi Swap 40. May 2010
