This is delcicious! Made this for me for breakfast so I halved the recipe. Made for Gimme 5 tag. -
I made this for breakfast, cut down to one serving. I used bacon instead of prosciutto, and a little more mushrooms. This isn't something I can make often due to calorie and fat restrictions, but this is nice for a special occassion. Delicious breakfast. Made this for Everyday is a Holiday tag. -

Yummy breakfast. I used bacon instead of prosciutto. -
This was a delicious, healthy breakfast. I did omit the mushrooms, and used bacon for the proscuitto. My kids liked the presentation-they topped theirs with ketchup! Thanks for an easy, versatile recipe!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
