Tip

Shallot Substitutions

Shallots are part of the onion family and have a mild onion-garlic flavor. In place of 3 to 4 shallots, use 1 medium onion plus a pinch of garlic powder or (if you like the taste of garlic) 1 minced garlic clove.

Great recipe and tastes even better the second day. I have changed meats to ham or chopped turkey bacon an added spinach sometimes and always a favorite.

Really good. I substituted canadian bacan for the proscuitto because that's all i had on hand. Made ahead for weekday breakfasts intending to reheat 2 each morning for breakfast, they were all gone in three days after my husband decided to try my "health food."
