  1. Aussie Swap #83: Now this is an unusual breakfast but OUTSTANDING! This is my kind of breakfast - veggies, eggs, cheeses - YUM!! Full of flavor!
     
  2. This was a really interesting breakfast. The egg plant rolls had a great flavor, although I had a hard time cutting even, thin slices. It made for a very substantial meal, and it as quick and easy to throw together the salad and eggs while the eggplant cooled. For ZWT9
