Egg and Cheese Puff with Greens
A great brunch dish, or quick lunch or supper, this recipe is easily put together and can actually be prepared a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. The ingredients are fairly versatile. Use the best greens that you have in season; some other good choices are: spinach, baby chard, dandelion leaves, arugula, watercress, nettles (pick with gloves!), basil, dill, cilantro, etc.
