I thought this was going to have too much liquid but after letting it sit and adding the egg and cheese it turned out great!!! I did add a little more bacon. Great flavor, I will make it again! Big hit with the husband! It makes a lot so you might want to half the recipe if there is only two of you. We're going to eat leftovers for days!
