Just wanted to point out that in the first step it asks you to preheat the oven. Later, it says to let the assembled dish sit for eight hours before baking. So, beware that this dish is an all day affair and don't listen to the first step.

This was good BUT it needed too much "twiking"! I halved the recipe & added mushrooms ,a combo of cheeses, had to add more egg mixture! I cooked it the hour recipe stated but then I uncovered it for additional 1/2 hour or it wouldn't have been thoroughly cooked!

We made this for our Italian Christmas brunch and it was good. Could use some more seasoning and maybe some mushrooms. I would say this is more on the lunch side than breakfast due to the peppers but very good.
