Perfect for one person! Quick, easy, versatile easily combines with other ingredients (e.g., peppers: bell, hot, onions, sliced garlic chips, cubed ham, fried egg as a topper) or not. Choices are good. Made this following the recipe. Really good and tasty. Then the experimenting began. So far so good.
