  1. Good stuff! Nice way to start the day. I made a few changes based on personal preferences... I baked the diced potato, coated with a little bit of olive oil. I chopped up the baby portabellas and threw them in for a quick saute at the end of browning the sausage, which I patted dry to get rid of the excess grease. I used the lower amount of eggs and less cheese and omitted the salt. Yum! Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. DELICIOUS doesn't do this justice! I used frozen hash-brown potatoes which went very quick, so skipped that whole part about browning them. Used a can of mushrooms, cuz that's what I have on hand. Otherwise, kept everything else the same. I used six eggies. Nice brekky, filling and fragrant! *Aus/NZ Swap #14*
     
  3. This was SOOOO good! We loved this and I will make it again and often! I didn't change a thing!
     
  4. Miss Nim, this was just wonderful. I couldn't find baby portabellos, so just bought one large one and diced. I did have to cook mine about 10 minutes longer than the recipe listed, so I just covered the pie with tin foil. Used 7 regular large eggs. Next time I might add some onion. Loved it! It's a keeper!
     
  5. Wonderful lunch recipe, the only change I made was I use sauteed button mushrooms that I keep cooked and frozen in the freezer, my DH loved this, thanks Nims!...Kitten:)

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
