Very nice! I made this for my 14month old daughter... it was perfect for her. I only left out the mayo, as she didn't need it. Will be making this over and over again. :)

A great memory from childhood! My DH and I make this fairly often. His mom called it eggs in a basket! Thanks! Made for the New Kids on the Block game.

I grew up with this being called an "Eye Opener". In high school this was my late night snack! I've never tried it with the mayo on it, but sure will. Sounds like a yummy new version.
