Author Notes

My husband and I LOVE breakfast and brunch food. We're both pretty carb intolerant, so protein, whole grains, complex carbs and lots of fruits and vegetables are what you will find the most of in the kitchen and on our table. So this is the perfect morning meal. This can easily be made into a low calorie meal, too - one that you will make over and over again! Just use eggs substitute, fat-free half and half and low-fat cheese. —vivisue

Is the milk in the list a substitute for the cream in the instructions, or is it a preference?

vivisue March 16, 2015

The milk was just what I had on hand. I would have used cream, had I had any. :D Enjoy!

vivisue August 13, 2011

Gosh, sorry! It should be about 375F degrees.

moka August 13, 2011

What temp does the oven need to be?

vivisue August 12, 2011

Thanks! I don't think you will find there has been any compromise. They make great snacks, too!
