Added Note:
This is a wonderful "fast food" & is often requested by my Feingold loved ones! It is great not only for breakfast or special guests, but also after school & before the dash-out-the-door to soccer practice too. My kids would even finish their chores & set the table & be seated waiting to see this dish "puffed up" straight from the oven! This is really one of my family's favorites & is a "fast food" & easy for the new Feingold Mom who is starting to panic about "what to feed my family"! Maybe you have already gotten other variations somewhere on this FG Recipe Board, but over the years this is "IT"---especially for Moms new to Feingold who need to be coaked back into the kitchen!
