Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Rick and I had this recipe for breakfast at the Brockton Inn in La Jolla. The original recipe called for orange juice and orange extract but we like the lemon flavor. This recipe is delicious but decadent; I've lightened it up by substituting 2 cups evaporated skim milk plus 2 cups fat free half and half for the whipping cream and by replacing the eggs with 2 1/2 cups liquid egg substitute. It's almost as good that way.
