yes, about the eggs - if you have a problem with whole eggs (ie the yolks - which is the part of the egg containing the fat and cholesterol), use egg whites and/or egg substitute. The veggies in this dish along with the high quality protein make for a very healthy breakfast.

all the other things make up for the eggs, besides that is great protein. There are some that have a lot more eggs to help thicken it. as others have said that is less than 2 per person. i also agree add a meat to it there is cooked bacon, and cooked sausage crumbles that would also be good. STOP on the egg debate they agree they are good for you.

As far as I can tell, the equivalent for a whole egg is two egg whites. If you counted two eggs equal in nutrition to a whole egg (which is not the case), it would be ten eggs. Even if a full 14 eggs were used for 8 servings, that's less than two eggs person... not unusual when eating eggs.

This recipe was great! I did revise it a bit on the eggs and used 8 whole eggs. The second time, I used frozen potatoes too. Yum!

This turned out very nice! I am not sure what all of the concern is about the eggs since the recipe only calls for 6 whole eggs (egg whites pose no health problems) and the recipe uses less than 1 egg per serving. It had great flavor and I would definitely make this again.

Have not made this recipe yet. I agree that there are entirely too many eggs in this dish but otherwise sounds delicious. How can it be healthy with all these eggs?


Reviewed on Dec. 02, 2010 by minairene

I did not make this recipe because as it stands it seems you would use a total of 14 eggs----6 eggs and 8 egg whites...please correct if needed otherwise I will not make it.

The peppers give us hearburn so I substituted a cup of chopped ham. Makes a GREAT brunch along with a fresh fruit salad.
