i think you can bring the calorie count down by only using 4 eggs, 1 hard boiled egg per serving. i also wound up painstakingly picking out the peppercorns and cloves afterwards as i didn't want to bite into any of that!!! - 3/17/09

I don't have a problem with the whole spices but you can replace them with 1/4 tsp clove spice and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
We usually eat this meal for dinner. 250 Cal is a very light dinner. I usually aim for 400 Cal per meal; but I might halve the eggs depending on dessert.
