YUMMY!! I did not add the tomatoes and did not add the half and half (I used 1 cup and 1/2 of cream and then added water to watch the carb count I was a bit hesitant about using mozzerella instead of cheddar, but I'm glad I tried it with the mozzerella...the recipe is super light and fluffy and very, very tasty! Will make this again for my morning atkins breakfasts!!

This is a GREAT recipe for a pot-luck brunch. It's a bit pricey to make, but so worth it! I have used turkey sausage as well as what's indicated on the recipe. Both worked really well! It holds up to re-heating as well.

I doubled this recipe for a big brunch crowd and baked it in 2 casserole dishes. It was the hit of the brunch for those didn't want anything sweet and the men loved it because of the Italian sausage. Definitely will not throw this recipe away, like so many others.
