We love this! So easy and quick. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or brunch. Serve with a side salad and seasonal fruit. We always add chopped onion and green peppers. On occasion sliced mushrooms. Perfect light meal! -
This was really delicious. I had some leftover ham, and this was a simple and yummy way to use it up! I doubled the recipe for my large skillet. Thanks for posting!

Love to read. I collect books and have quite a collection but am always adding more. I have also discovered audio books and find that I am able to get through more books by listening to them.
Have recently started knitting and I really enjoy it even if it is quite a challenge at times.
Always searching for a great recipe in any food category. As might be expected I never find "The One" but find many delicious ones along the way.
One of our favorite restaurants is Jensen's Supper Club located in Eagan, MN.
