I used green onions instead of chives and added salt and pepper. This was a very good cheesy meal! Would make again and I love that it only makes a small casserole size! Read More

Didn’t care for this. The bread in the middle was a little weird. Next time I will use torn up bread and real eggs. It was easy to make. Just needs a little something else. Read More

Eggs cheese bacon. How can you go wrong with these ingredients? I'm nicknaming this cheaters quiche Lorraine. I used French bread chopped sweet onions and added Rosemary at the end. I also double or triple the amount of cheese. Read More

This an amended recipe based upon one from the ‘70’s. Unless you’re on a restricted diet, I see no reason to not use a full egg for fluff and richness. I usually use sourdough bread for this Recipe for better texture. This casserole is always a winner with fresh OJ or fresh fruit. Read More

I didn't have a glass dish so I had to use nonstick. That being said I only chilled out for 6 hours. I used precooked bacon and real eggs. I used 5 eggs total. I really liked the flavor until now afterwards I have metal mouth. Also it was very mushy I'm the middle but with great crisp at the edges. I will make it again with a glass dish and see how it goes.

This was a nice way to end the day. It was assembled prior to leaving the house for work and baked 9 hours later. It was light and tasty. If made again, I will add some red peppers for color and green onions for a little more flavor. Read More

I have a bit of a cholesterol problem, so using egg-beaters (real egg whites with beta carotene for color) is great! They cut calories as well. This great recipe is awesome to prepare ahead, so in the morning I can focus on getting ready for the day. Folks who don't try the recipe because of the egg-beaters, and yet give it a bad review are not working within the spirit of this site. Read More
