Author Notes

This can be assembled the night before baking. The variations are infinite and you can taylor it's tastes to yours and your guests. Try different cheeses, herbs, or meats like proscuitto or bacon or shrimp. Hollandaise sauce over the shrimp or crab variation would be great. Use sauteed vegetables, mushrooms, spinach, sun dried tomato........ You can make this any size. Individual or large for a crowd. —Pamela

I was looking for a smoked salmon recipe and tripped on this. I hadn't seen it before. This looks wonderful. It sounds like a great presentation. I love shrimp and crabmeat with eggs and vote for that variation.
