I cut the recipe in half and cooked it in my 8 inch cast iron skillet...I had a hard time getting the top to set so I flipped it before adding the cheese...this was filling...but both hubby and I really didn't care for the corn in it...but that's just us...I think next time I will replace it with chopped green peppers...I served it with a sprinkle of cilantro on top...hubby added some salsa to his...thanks for posting it...=)
