Thank you for sharing this recipe, it is delicious and perfect for breakfast, or anytime. It was really easy to put together as well. There are so many variations you can create from this as well. I used cheddar because I had no swiss cheeze. The next time I make it I'd like to try the swiss.
Peace be with you
