Very nice recipe. Used all the ingredients, even fresh grated parmesan. It seemed like there were more vegys than egg so I increased by 1 egg & used yogurt vs milk. Added a tiny bit of chopped jalapeno. Normally I'm taking salt out of the recipe, I felt it could use alittle (maybe my balsamic cooked off too much). Next time I'll try abit of feta cheese (in lieu of salt) &/or chopped deli ham. Great dish, hubby loved it. Thanks for sharing. -
I was out of asparagus so in its place I used a combination of green scallions, fresh parsley and fresh basil. I like the little kick with the balsamic although I used white instead of dark balsamic. Used red pepper for green. Easy to make. Oh, instead of milk used whipping cream! thanks for sharing. cg

I live in New Hampshire. My preferences for what I cook and enjoy eating stem from the places I have lived and visited throughout my life. Whenever I make something that is Polynesian in nature for example, I am rocketed back to the days that I lived in Hawaii.
I love to cook. There is nothing more special to me than cooking a nice fancy meal for friends and family and then to watch their faces as they eat what I have made for them...of course, sometimes I don't like to see the looks on their faces too...LoL. OOops!
