This is a very good recipe. The only thing that keeps me from giving it the full 5 stars is the eggs. In my humble opinion one cup of quinoa can easily handle 5 eggs maybe six. The amount of cheese in this one keeps everything together and works well to make up for only having 4 eggs. Perhaps that's just personal preference but we like our eggs around here and it is breakfast. Thank you for submitting this recipe. Read More

I made these to freeze and have on hand for quick mornings that I needed protein. A quick 20 seconds in the microwave to warm them up and run out the door. They are delicious! I altered the recipe to be more low fat by omitting the butter and cream. Instead I sprayed the pan with olive oil Pam and used skim milk. I also added an extra egg as the other reviewer suggested. The broccoli cooked perfectly. Next time I plan to try using 3 egg whites and 2 whole eggs to cut down on fat even further. My 9 year old is begging for me to make them again! Read More

Great healthy dish for breakfast or lunch. My 3 and 5 year old children even loved it. I added some elk sausage to a few of them and that was a nice touch. I think the amount of eggs as listed is just right. I actually didn't have cream on hand so I used leftover homemade white gravy. Read More

Great dish! I was too lazy to make individual muffins so I used a pie pan and made a quiche equivalent. I also added fresh spinach and used milk instead of cream because that is what I had in the House. I wasn t crazy about the taste of cheddar with this so the 2nd time I made it I used an Italian Blend instead...just my preference. Read More
