Just made this casserole for a brunch...my husband loved the fluffy light texture and the delicious combination of flavors!
Yum
Haven't tried this yet, but will the next time I have a bunch of eggs to use up quickly. Although technically a breakfast/brunch dish, I think this would make a great hearty supper, too, maybe with a green salad alongside. I will be using lower-fat cheeses where I can, too.
I agree, I figured with Weight Watchers it equals to 8 points per serving... which is typical for a casserrole serving.
Thought I would try something different, I am glad I did!
Looks delicious. Will be trying this for our Easter brunch.
I ran the recipe thru a recipe calculator found at: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php?process=resubmit&count=22and this is what I came up with for stats: calorie=281 fat=19.7g carbs=7.7g fiber=1.3 protein= 18.8g

Tasty recipe to make. I used bacon. I'm not sure if the calorie count could be correct with the specific ingredients but the dish received thumbs up around my table!
TOH: Are you sure about the calorie count on this? 291 calories for each of 8 servings sounds low for these ingredients.
