If your like me, you commit to a last minute "ok everyone to our house tomorrow for brunch". Then you suddenly freeze wondering what dish would feed many...Quiche? Well unless you pre slice into small portions, quiche vanishes quickly. Yes you could make a few quiches...but I am all about the easy prep over the tedious in most cases. I have had this egg dish recipe for several years. It's easy, it's big and its satisfying. You could easily make this the main breakfast/brunch dish and surround it with juice, coffee, fruit and bagels, even mimosas and your set. It presents well too, I bake it in this big deep sky blue ceramic rectangular pan I have...it goes straight from the oven to a trivet on the table. Enjoy this for some lazy Sunday morning or when spring time arrives out on your patio.
