"Quick and easy recipe from Food & Wine magazine. The original recipe called for cilantro leaves to be added for serving. We love cilantro, so I chopped them and added them to the dish at the end. Great with a light Riesling wine."

Absolutely wonderful! The preparation requires the most time. Once everything is ready to go, this dish goes together very quick. I did use egg substitute for the eggs and some additional garlic. The cilantro leaves really set the flavors off. Thanks a wonderful and quick dinner.

<p>I am a full-time working mother as well as a part-time college student. I love to cook, but obviously, I don't have a great deal of time to spend in the kitchen. I am always on the look-out for meals that I can prepare for my family of four that are kid-friendly, husband-friendly (hates cheese!) and take 30 minutes or less. 'Zaar has been a lifesaver!</p>
