Very tasty! Added 6 pcs of cooked chopped center cut bacon slices and added 2 more eggs for 6 total. Also used 1/2 cup soft bread just torn into pcs. and upped the oregano, pepper and hot sauce to 1/4 t. Yummy! Esp yummy if made the night before and refrigerated overnight and baked in the morning! (the bread gets all gooey in the middle!)

I'm almost a vegan, don't eat meat, but will eat eggs(?) Anyway, I really liked this. It had so much flavor and was consumed quickly! Hope to see more recipes without meat...thanks

This was good and the leftovers the next day were even better. I like that it doesn't have a crust.
