    I've made this recipe using Perdue Lean Turkey Breakfast Sausage, egg beaters and added lots of veggies (ex. peppers, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, etc.). Boosts the fiber and helps get the veggies in for the day. I also serve it with a dollop of salsa on top. Yummy!!! - 1/3/09

    We used italian turkey sausage, added mushrooms, finely chopped fresh spinach and 1/4 of an onion that was cooked with the sausage. We also did 1/2 egg beaters and 1/2 egg. I put this into muffin cups, and it made 24. We had 2 of these for breakfast and and now have bfast to go ready for others. - 2/28/09

    Made a few adjustments like using turkey breakfast sausage and eggbeater's instead of the eggs. I added 1/4 c. chopped onion to the sausage while browning it. The whole family loved it, I'll definitely be making it again. - 9/19/07

    I didn't have all cheddar so I used the package of mozarella and cheddar combo, I also added one medium can of mushrooms, one small can of green chilies and some onion ... it was delicious. Today I added diced tomatoes and am anxiously waiting for it to come out of the oven so I can try it. - 6/14/08

    I don't use sausage so I substituted turkey pepperoni...Today, I am substituting with Oscar Mayer Ready to Eat bacon. My family loves it!! I did add onions and left out the salt. I think the cheese adds plenty and I use the coarse grind black pepper with a sprinkle (1/4 tsp.) of cayenne pepper!! - 1/18/09

    This is really good. I loved it. I made it with turkey sausage links that I cut up into tiny pieces and used half a block of reduced fat cheddar that i cut into thin slices. It was really good. Was a good change to my morning Cheerios. - 5/8/08

    I like to use the hormel pre-cooked bacon bits in salad aisle - 50% less fat and sometimes I add a cup of hashbrowns - just because I like the taste - then I cut down a little on the cheese. This is delish - 1/18/09

    The store didn't have the sausage recommended so I used ground turkey with pepper, sage and garlic powder to taste. Subsituted my favorite marble jack cheese (low fat of course).

    I admit I altered this. Turkey sausage, only egg whites and no bisquick - added fresh mushrooms & frozen spinach at the end of browning the meat, and Mrs Dash. Only used a splash of milk since no need for it in the baking mix. Baked about 20 minutes and it turned out great. - 10/24/20

    Bleh. This was NOT for me. And an expensive waste. The egg topping didn't even come close to looking like a cobbler topping that is in this picture. Baked eggs are a nasty soggy mess, and that's exactly what this was for me! It's in the compost bin. - 1/5/20
