I think this is delicous! Perfect for a fancy brunch. I did use 2 eggs and 3 egg whites, because I thought it was a little tough the first time I made it with only the 1 egg. It's a great way to get to eat fruit in the winter!11/08/09

My husband and I thought this was wonderful, and the way I tweaked the recipe, it had a beautiful presentation, so would be impressive for company. We did not think it was too sweet, but I subbed half of the sugar with splenda, so don't know if that cut the sweetness a bit, I used 2C of all berries, baked for 25 min at 375 then 10 more at 425 for a crunchy crust on the top, and served it with a dallop of whipped cream. Excellent!12/30/08
