I have made this several times now. It is a great appetizer and a must have at our Christmas Brunch. Easy to make the night ahead and refrigerate. Baste with yolk in the morning and throw in the oven.

Made this and served with the Cream of Potato soup from the same Taste of Home issue. There were only 4 of us, but all was eaten. I would make again. I think next time I might add either asparagus, broccoli or spinach and garlic or red pepper just to give it a little different twist. But either way, I really liked.

I just made this a little over an hour ago and can I say yummm? It would be great appetizer or just a snack. I did not use any onions because my husband and I do not like onions... I substituted the onions with onion powder. They were awesome! I will def. be making this again... thanks!!

Oh My Gosh!!! This was just wonderful. I fixed this for the Super Bowl yesterday and only 3 slices were left. Mind you there were only 5 adults and 2 children to eat it and I had a ton of food. My dtr-in-law almost foundered herself with it. Yes, I will be making it again, soon.

A friend made this for a small jewelry party a few years ago. I asked for the recipe but her family got transfered to Germany before I could get. I'm thrilled to find it here. Thank you so much.
