This was a hit at my house. Even hubby who sneers at salt cod liked it. -
I don't know if my vote counts because I changed so much. . . but anyway, it was so tasty! I didn't add bacon, so I added a cajun spice blend for some kick and saltiness. And I only used egg whites. And I only had a red pepper on hand, not green. But this made for a delicious high protein, high antioxidant, low fat meal that I will make again.

After several floods to my basement, I am starting to input all of the many many recipes that I've been collecting for years. I didn't realize just how many I had saved up... must make note to self.. step away from the cookbooks!
