Tips

  • You can make individual servings by baking in 2 1/4 inch muffin tins (large). Spray each muffin cup or line with bake cup. Add each layer: bread, cheese, cooked vegetables, egg mixture. Cooking time is 15-20 minutes. Eggs are set when still slightly moist in the center. Check with a toothpick. Yield: 12 egg cups.
  • This recipe is a pantry buster! Use up any canned vegetables that you have on-hand for this dish, such as black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, or peas.
