I too had just watched the show and with the recipe in mind picked up the few ingredients I needed. I printed the recipe from Foodnetwork.com and to my chagrin the printed reciped was not the recipe Tyler made on the show!!! How can this be??? I hope someone at the Foodnetwork reads these reviews. This is just unacceptable!!

After having watched the episode yesterday, with it still very fresh in my mind, I was appalled that neither the ingredients nor the method in this recipe matched what I SAW Tyler do on the show!!!!! You have got to me kidding me !!!!!!
Why not print the recipe as he cooked it? Is that out of the question?????

I prepare this recipe for my birthday brunch and my guests loved it!!! I adapted and cooked it in the oven on a muffin pan. I caramelized the onions on a pan, and cooked the potatos on another pan. Then I combined the onions. potatos and mixed eggs in each muffin cavity. Easy and delicious! My kind of recipe!

Cut 1 large onion (thin slivers and 4 red potatoes (cut into quarters and add to large saute pan with ~1 tbsp. butter. Cook until onions are caramelized and potatoes are mostly cooked.

Mix 8 eggs + 1 c. whole milk (+ a splash of heavy cream if available...mix until well incorporated. Add 1/2 the gruyere + salt + pepper and set aside.

Cut thick ham steak (substitute with smoked bacon, Canadian bacon or prosciutto into small, bite-sized cubes. Dump onions and potatoes out of pan and wipe pan out well. The pan needs to be super clean. Turn pan up to high eat. Add EVOO and a tbsp of butter. When fat comes up to heat add egg mixture while "swirling" oil. Then scatter around potatoes/onions & ham, herbs (thyme & Italian parsley, and remainder of cheese on top. Add salt and pepper and put into oven @ 350 uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Remove with flat spatula. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and sour cream if desired.

Hope this helps with some of the confusion!

I share the same frustration as many that have commented on this recipe. Tyler is one of my favorite chefs & I frequently start with his recipes when trying something new.

I don't always have time to catch the tv shows and have had *several* occasions where I wish I had watched the show first b/c the transcribed version was completely different. Lots of wasted time, effort & poor results. [Thinking specifically of the Ultimate Gravy show & transcription for starters...]

Although, I guess we are getting what we paid for. And since that's "free" it's difficult for me to feel justified in complaining.

I have been a long time devotee of Food Network and cook daily from the recipes on this site. There are too many times that the recipe on the show just does not make it on the site the same and I too feel for the inexperienced cook. This is not a rating for Tyler or his recipes, but another vote for Food Network to do something about this translation/transmission issue. I have noticed I have the most problems with this issue on Tyler's recipes as well...occasionally with others, but nowhere near the extent as with Tyler's. If I am ever interested in something Tyler is doing (and it's often, I better make sure it has been recorded so I can compare what has been done to what has been printed and have pen in hand when I do. PITA! Please pay attention to these details that make a world of difference for your network.

Love this recipe! A new favorite dinner dish for my family who kept on talking about all of the other ingredients I can add to it next time!

FIrst of all he used 1 cup of whole milk and only mentioned that if he has heavy cream left over he might throw a splash in but didn't on the show and did not use sour cream. He took the onions and potatoes out of the pan. Cleaned the pan put in new oil and then put the egg mixture in then put the onions and the rest of the ingredients in put it in the oven to finish. I love many of Tyler's recipes but it gets ridiculous that I have to save the show so I can compare to the written recipe because most of his written recipes on here are so different from the show. What kind of idiot is working for him that can't transcribe a show. If you need a new assistant I can be of service. Just my 2 cents.

I totally agree with sassy. This recipe isn't even close to what was shown on the show. Therefore, the quality of this recipe ranks as crap. It doesn't matter that I know what the show did. It doesn't matter that I know how to fix the recipe. It doesn't matter that I can tweak things and make it turn out good. The recipe, as written, is crap.

And how friggin' hard is it to have the recipe match the show?

We watch the 'Next Food Network Star' and watch the level of detail they get to critiquing how a celebucher presents. Then we since this quality disparity in a simple recipe transcription??? What the hell?

And this happens all the time. Not only with Florence, but with other celebuchefs as well. Which leads me to believe its not a chef issue but a systemic issue.

The only way to get them to pay attention is to rate every crappy transcription for what it is: a crappy transcription. When they become more accurate, _then_ we can rate the relative merit of the actual show/recipe.

I'm tired of having to read a recipe, wonder if it differs from what the chef presented, and then have to read 70 reviews to get the gist of whether the recipe is any good or not. And I feel very sorry for the inexperienced cook that simply searches for a recipe and lands on the crap that they couldn't possibly know doesn't match the show...

Shows and printed recipes often don't match. Unfortunately, my favorite chef, Tyler is the worst offender of screwed up recipes.
