"Found in an online search, this is pretty tasty. I make a half-recipe for myself and enjoy the leftovers heated up for "take-to-work" lunches. I particularly like that it can be made ahead, stuck in the frig overnight, and popped into the oven in the morning. Very nice when you have guests and don't want to spend a lot of time cooking and cleaning up in the morning."

This is very good. I added only diced leek since we both like an onion flavor. I served it w/fried potatoes & fruit on the side, a "fan" of avocado slices on top & some salsa just for me. My DH likes this for Sun breakfast. Then I put single servings of the leftovers in a zip-lock sandwich bag for his GNG! breakfasts b4 he leaves for work (GNG! = Grab, Nuke & Go!). Thx.
