I needed to bring a hot dish to a gathering recently and was in a pinch for time. No time to run to the store, so I had to make due with what I had on hand. This was really easy and came out tasty. Great way to use up my extra eggs before they expired too! (Darn those buy one get one free 18 pack sales!) You could easily use the base ingredients for this and add anything – a different vegetable, a breakfast meat, change the spices.. Very versatile!
