Reviews
Excellent recipe. I used half the onion and bell pepper and used fresh basil instead of dried. Everyone raved that it was the best breakfast casserole they had ever eaten.
Very good recipe on two levels: 1) very tasty (added more cheese), and 2) very easy to make, i.e. not a whole lot of prep time required. Definitely going into the personal cookbook!
Made it exactly as indicated in the recipe. Loved it. Absolutely divine. We are on a diet so we cut it into ten pieces, froze it and had breakfast for five days. Going to make it again. Also sent recipe to a friend whose kids and grandkids are coming to visit. This is a real nummy num recipe. I give it a 10
