we loved this - used suggestions from some other reviewers - added a cup of sliced mushrooms (sauted them first in 1/2 tea olive oil to remove any extra moisture, than added 1 1/2 tea oil, onion and garlic, then broccoli. I used a cast iron skillet, then like another reviewer added the egg mixture to that pan and baked it in the skillet. Came out fantastic. I used skim milk and egg substitute (1 C) because that is what I had. Make sure to let it sit the 5 minutes before serving. Served for dinner with roasted potato wedges (same oven) and cooked carrots with sage. CL recipe
