"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
This is one of our family's oldest and favorite "egg bakes" although we have tried and continue to try many different ones. I always think this takes longer than the prescribed 1 hour to bake - closer to an hour and a quarter. So if you are planning breakfast or brunch at certain time, make allowances. Leftovers can be cut into serving pieces and frozen.
