    This was great! Very flavorful. I used 1 T dried minced onion instead of fresh. I baked it in a pie pan and it took 40 minutes. I'd make it again. I'll try a cheddar cheese mixture next time and add other vegetables too. Thanks for posting it. Variety is the spice of life! - 2/21/09

    SO-OOO Good! Made a wonderful, filling meal. I used flax meal instead of flour and the texture was great--very fluffy. Will definitely add to my Favorites list. I also added Chef Meg's pork sausage. - 8/7/11

    This was listed as a low carb recipe but low carb + flour does not compute! - 3/18/13

    I actually used this for my Christmas breakfast! Loved the egg substitute and the cheeses. Used part skim ricotta w/o realizing ff was suggested - may try later. Size cass dish would be helpful. Very good! I would also agree with MEENIE50 that this is not lc, - 12/25/16

    Great base recipe. Added carrots, broccoli, and mushroom to mine, since I had them on hand. Also used different cheese (also to use up what I had on hand), and added a pie crust to it. I like how many options this recipe opens up. Very good. - 10/25/10

    we enjoyed this with a salad for our vegetarian meal this week....the consistency was kind of like southern cornbread dressing - we loved it! - 6/18/09

    I used a little more egg substitute because I found it to be a little drier than I wanted and instead of ricotta cheese I used cottage cheese instead. Very Tasty - 3/24/09
