"This hearty breakfast meal, full of fresh tomatoes and mushrooms, gets much of its terrific flavor and texture from the English muffins that line the bottom of the dish. I found this on wholefoodsmarket.com"

Made this for house guests this past weekend and everyone loved it! The combo of flavors and fact that I could make it the night before won me over. Will repeat it over Christmas for sure!

This was pretty good. I think it needed some sort of meat, such as bacon or ham. I only used 1/2 teaspoon salt, but it was a little bland, so I would recommend doubling that. I like the idea of using English muffins!
