"A tip for when you go to make the recipe: beat the eggs first in the bowl then use a little bit to brush on the edge of the pie crust to make sure it's shiny and a beautiful golden brown, it only uses a teaspoon or so of egg and it helps make the final product that much more top model."

-Barb 3663

The sharp cheddar complements the potatoes sublimely, and the spinach and peppers bring it all together as one cohesive and simply delicious meal.”
-thechefboyardee

-janine.sanford
“My cousin made something like this for a family Christmas brunch. I came home and found this recipe. The only thing I added was a drizzle of pure maple syrup on top of the gravy. It is a hit with my boys - even the one that doesn't like biscuits & gravy.”
