This recipe is missing 3 Cups of Milk! (added to egg mixture) that's why it's dry......

This was a big hit with the adults Christmas morning. I have tried to make this in the past with a different recipe that called for milk and it turned out soggy. This recipe was the perfect texture.

I tried it and found that this was too dry. I also found that a crust was made even when I cut off the crust before hand. My husband and children love breakfast but did not like this recipe. Tastless.
