Liked this, cutting the squash pieces pretty small. -
At first bite, I thought WOW, what great flavor!! I used my garden tomatoes, two cloves of garlic and parmigiano-reggiano cheese. This is very easy to make. I only had problems plating it as I don't own any non-stick skillets. I know I'll get that problem taken care of as I'm going to be making this many times to come!!! Made for *Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup 2009* game -
Yummy! I make this all the time now. Good for friday nights when there is not much left on the fridge shelves. :) I have also used other leftover veggies.(I did not have problems with my tomatoes as previous poster did and I did not seed them.) Thanks for a great, easy recipe. -
I would have liked it to be more flavorful. Perhaps, some fresh herbs or more garlic and onions, but I found it a little plain. Also, the tomato made it very watery. It needs to be seeded before chopped.

WOW!!! This is the best breakfast I've had in a LONG time! I generally don't care for omelet style eggs so I was a bit leary about trying this, but am so glad I did! It fit the bill perfectly for my low-carb diet husband and my "I don't care how many carbs are in it as long as it tastes good" non-diet self! I used canned chopped tomatoes instead of fresh (quicker & easier)and put small pieces of swiss cheese on top before putting it in the oven. I'll definitely serve this next time we have friends over for brunch! Thank you thank you thank you for submitting this one Gingerbear!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
