Joshua Saunders
I really like this recipe and will keep using it. I used fat-free sour cream and it turned out very well. I served it with lightly buttered toast and fresh fruit. What a great breakfast! But this could also be a quick fix for dinner!

I’m not a huge scrambled egg fan; I usually have to douse them in hot sauce or salsa. This is the first recipe for them I’ve found that I don’t have to add anything to… delicious!
Mitchell Hernandez
Good! Easy& flavorful!
Mary Schmidt DVM
I didn’t have any basil on hand, so I substituted Italian seasoning. It turned out to be an okay recipe with some degree of flavor. I’m not sure if I would make it again, but would make modifications if I do.
Erin Perkins
This is so delicious. I have tried using other herbs, like dill and rosemary! I usually make this once a week for myself and my kids.
Victoria Owens
Kinda plain with not much flavor. Doubt I”ll repeat.
Miranda Spencer
We loved it! But replaced Basil–with side of salsa, A friend had done this for a group of us. And I always need more veggies!
Jennifer Vincent
The basil definitely gives it a unique flavor.

I have made it three times, first adding pan sausage/with sage, the second time I added bacon, and the third time I added ham. Each time it tasted delicious.

Oh my. Delicious delicious delicious!!! That’s all I can say. I did use parmesan and cream cheese once. Even more delicious!!
Ashley Tucker
I made it for a breakfast group that i cook for. They enjoyed it and felt they were having a gourmet breakfast. I felt it was a bit bland, needed some punch. I will substitute parmesan cheese for some of the mozzarella. Probably will add garlic and maybe some italian seasonings.
Albert Mora
Super easy and very good. I love eggs and I love basil, so how I never tried this earlier is a mystery. I made this recipe and put it in a tortilla for a breakfast wrap. Really good!
Vincent Lopez
This was delicious. I made it for two, adjusting the ingredients. I loved it and will definitely make it again
Gerald Adams
easy the single guy. Good homeless recipe
Joshua Fields
It’s very good. I think I may use a Tuscan seasoning next time just to go crazy with it.
