Delicious and perfect for breakfast during the holiday season and a wonderful way to use up leftover egg whites! Mine did take a bit longer to cook closer to 50 minutes but I think my oven is slow and I used a 8-inch round pan. Thanks for sharing! We will be having this again before the holiday season is over!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
