Reduced milk to 1/2 c; prefer basil over flat leaf parsley; beat eggs and subbed egg substitute for 2 of the whole eggs; have to gently mix in the milk too. problem is that it takes 2x as much time as the recipe calls for. but we love it!03/29/09

I loved the flavor of this recipe, but the consistency and instructions need work. I would recommend MUCH less milk--when I made the recipe as written, there was a huge layer of standing liquid in the dish on top of the eggs and the entire thing turned into mush when I tried to serve it. Also, the eggs weren't properly cooked, even though I went 5 minutes beyond the recommended cooking time. (The recipe says to cook 20 minutes or "until eggs are set," but how can you tell under all that stuff??) I think it "has potential" but next time I'm going to make it in individual containers, use much less milk, and cook longer.10/11/08
