Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup half and half

    Wasn't Impressed

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I was really hoping this would be a great weekend dish, yea not so much. I thought it was soggy and it does need a lot of... tweaking. I let it cook a little longer to see if it would crunch up a bit, but it didn't. Read more

    Go with the tweaked version from Good Morning America when he made it there!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I got this recipe from a friend and tweaked it on my own. (This version is not so good but it is easily modified). I had... made it so many times that I had forgotten I had tweaked it. When I was looking it up to send it to some friends, I remembered that I had made all those changes!! Fortunately, Emeril had evidently made the same changes when he made this recipe for Good Morning America!! Check it out!! You'll be alot happier!! Simple changes I made to help cut my time in half? I use cubed ham instead of doing sausage or bacon. I also use more eggs like the GMA version, I use a bigger pan (the men in our household can't handle a small pan of this), and I use everything you would put in an omelet - I use a green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, and cubed ham... Using ham cuts my time down to a 15 min. preparation time!! I also buy a veggie medley from the produce section at the store that cuts my time there as well. It is the perfect amount and the men love all the extras in it!! It also makes for a much more colorful and pretty dish. Last - I use Colby or Pepper Jack cheese on top... This version has been requested every time company comes and every time a holiday rolls around... so much so that I find myself making it pretty much any and every day off that the guys have. Go with the GMA version Emeril did and you'll be happy!! Read more

    It needed something, but not hard to adjust.

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    On top of the sausage, I added diced tomatoes with green chiles, some fresh chopped cilantro, and a can of green salsa. Then... I added the cheese, substituting a Mexican blend for the cheddar. It made a big difference!Read more

    Not worth it at all!!

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    Honestly, I like a lot of Emeril's recipes. This one is not for me. It's just soggy nastiness. I made it for family that... was visiting and we ended up throwing it away and going out. Read more

    great without modifications

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I followed this recipe exactly as written, and my husband and I loved it. If you are looking for an egg caserole, then you... will need to modify this one - it's mostly bread with a little egg - but we thought it was great as is. I cooked it for 30 minutes and it was perfect.Read more

    Surprised that this was so off the mark... ok for tweaking.

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Like other reviewers have mentioned, this recipe needed some tweaking to come out right. I'm figuring that those of us who... knew right from the start that some work was needed knew enough about cooking to just make this up on our own. I'm disappointed in this because while recipes (except for baking!) tend to be fluid and adaptable, this one wasn't even good for guidelines on ratios of ingredients or timing. I guess as a list of ingredients, not quantities, it is fine, but frankly I know that I need to add eggs, milk and cheese to a breakfast casserole. I gave 3 stars because my version turned out yummy, but had I followed this recipe, not so much.Read more
