Scrumptious breakfast. We loved the flavor combinations. Nothing was too overpowering, even though I halved the recipe, but used a whole serrano pepper. I'll be making this for breakfast regularly. Thanks for posting!

I used fresh (and seeded) jalapeno. This reminded me flavor wise of a spanish omelette. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This is a delicious breakfast that hits all the right notes. I like that the mushrooms were diced, rather than sliced. The scallions gave a delicate onion flavor to the dish and the hot pepper that I used added some zing, but was not too spicy. Finally, the cilantro balanced everything out. Will definitely make again. Made for ZWT 8.
