I've decided that I prefer eggs baked vs. fried. They're so much creamier this way, and you can throw in whatever you have in the fridge. Even better is when they're made with eggs from the backyard - the yolks are so much brighter! —clcatto

I really like this dish and have made it several times now. Last week, I added cooked diced pancetta to the mix and, having no parmesan, used asiago. The variations with this meal are just about endless.

I'm going to try these this weekend....do you ever use spinach? Wondering if that is enough cream if I add a lot of veggies?

Oh! I think spinach sounds fabulous!

I haven't tried spinach but I've chopped up a little arugula. Sounds great. You could always add a little more cream. The recipe is so easy I usually just wing it!
