This is a very close recipe to one I've had for years. We add a few dashes to Tabasco, I prefer the green, but I have not had anyone tell me they didn't like it. Great for potlucks and family gatherings.
It can also be easily divided for smaller families.

Fayeberry, how many it serves depends on how small you cut the squares. At the Master Gardener meeting where I first had the dish, most people went back for seconds. I served it to my family and my 4 year old grandson wanted seconds--which is most unusual for him. Hope you try it and enjoy it. I guess you could always half the recipe if you had a smaller group.
Karen Mc, I served it with cheese biscuits and sausage balls and it was a hit.
Tiggersmom, I think it would be great with some Tabasco! I will try it that way next time I prepare. I think it is going to be one of my Christmas morning dishes.

Sew Krazy Girl -- you are so right, you gave some delicious options to add!!! I hope you and your family enjoy!
Pinkiris -- so true about the price of eggs!! My city has 2 farmers markets and they are excellent resources for fresh eggs and usually at a better price than at local chain grocery.
