These are good with soup. On their own, they're rather plain. I've made them twice now. The base is good, but I think I'm going to experiment with adding mustard powder and more cheese next time.

I made these to go with potato soup and they were delicious! Also great for snacks, tailgating or brunch!

I made these as a grab and go meal for a recent family vacation and they were very good!!! Everyone loved them and they went fast. I liked them because they were very easy to make. I will be doubling the batch and freezing some next time.

I have made this several times, super easy and it always gets great reviews. I usually double it, because they go fast!

what a great simple recipe. only 6 ingredients and mixes up quickly. The best part is that it freezes extremely well so I made up 3 batches and now my husband, son, and daughter have fast grabs for breakfast. They each have their own way to eat it: one with mustard, one with salsa, one plain, and I like mine with a little homemade strawberry jam. It's much healthier and cheaper than fast food breakfasts!
