Loved so much, I adapted and taught to my youth cooking class. GREAT and easy!

My 19 yr old never knows what to have for breakfast but when I showed her this recipe, she made it twice in the first week! So much simpler than getting out the frypan. You need a bit more time to firm up the eggs though.
