We enjoyed a hearty breakfast bake during a visit to an Amish inn. When I asked for the recipe, one of the ladies told me the ingredients right off the top of her head. I modified it to create this version my family loves. Try breakfast sausage in place of bacon. —Beth Notaro, Kokomo, Indiana

I have been using this recipe from TOH for years and we still love it. I do change it up sometimes...sausage instead of bacon, add green chilies, different cheese...it's always great. I do always have to bake it a little longer than called for, and I let it stand a little longer than called for also...if we can wait that long to dig in it!

Although this recipe was great as is, I added 2 more eggs and substituted smoked gouda cheese for the Swiss and that really put it over the top!

Didn't have Swiss, so just used cheddar and added green peppers. Very tasty. All the kids and hubby liked it. We made it for supper with a little left over. The kids want the left overs for breakfast.

This is the recipe that I use to feed a hungry crowd.

When I made it the first time, I followed the recipe to the letter. It was wonderful.

Over time the only changes that I make is that I use 9 eggs instead of just 6. I have also made it using breakfast sausage in place of the bacon. I imagine it would be good with ham too. YUM!

Way to much cheese, to little eggs, only 2 out 10 people finished it.

I made it first time the way the recipe suggests for a breakfast with my son and grandchildren. It was well received. The basic rescipe lends itself to variations of your choice so I've used smoke cured Ham, bulk breakfast sausage, smoked sausages, and even crabmeat and shrimp. I added fresh sliced mushrooms, red bellpeppers, and even the long green chile peppers seeded and diced small. I made fresh salsa with Cilantro and served it on the side. Ialso made fresh biscuits with butter and honey and a fresh fruit or melon. Great breakfast.

Simply delicious!!! Have made this several times and it's always a huge hit! I always add extra meat - sausage and canadian bacon. I NEVER have leftovers!

Made for a ladies brunch and it was fabulous. Think I'll try it next time with breakfast sausage.

Made this for a family brunch and divided into 2 pans (1 w/bacon and 1 without for a vegetarian) and both were a big hit. I followed various people's suggestions, substituted cottage cheese with ricotta and used half mexican cheese and half mexican cheese with taco seasoning for a little kick. Very easy to make and yummy!
