This is now one of my favorite brunch dishes! The first time I made it, it was a little salty. So, I now use garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I also leave out the nutmeg just as a personal preference. I love that it is healthier than traditional brunch pies. Thanks for posting! -
This was really good, but my husband and I thought the nutmeg was a little too strong. I will reduce it next time I make it. -
This was really quick, simple and flavoursome.the seasonings were spot on.However i didn't find it substantial for the main meal.But would certainly make it again as a side dish,possibly with some finely cubed ham.
