Well here we go agian guys and gals. Still looking for clutn free, low fat diet dishes.I love this dish for breakfast and it shows only 254 calories with 9 grams of fat. Can't sit and eat the whole thing of course LOL but have a portions that will satisfy you in the morning. I found that the longer this stands before baking, the more custardlike the consistency will be. I have also used turkey bacon instead of ham and truned out great. Shared this one with my nurse friend and neighbor and she love it.
