  1. I will be experimenting with a precooked crust of Bisquick Biscuit dough, or puff pastry, or corned beef hash, etc, then the egg mix on top and cooking in the oven or air-fryer, in a large pan or muffin-tins. I am going to have fun experimenting with this versatile egg, and random meat &/or random veggie &/or random crust &/or cheese mixture. The possibilities are infinite. Thank you, I love your recipes anyway, and this one is so versatile. Why haven’t I thought about this before now!!! Have a great weekend Thank you again.
