Hi. 2 questions: How would I adjust the ingredients to feed 15-20? Is it possible to bake this rather than cooking in a pan stove top?
Thanks it looks delicous.Reply

Hi Sue, if you put your mouse or finger over the number of servings, you can move the numner to the specific number of servings you need. The ingredients will adjust to the appropriate amounts. You will have to slightly adjust the instructions as they are set. For example, it will take slightly longer to cook the eggs.
This particular recipe is an egg scramble so I have not tested it in the oven as a frittata. I can't give you any specifics since I have not tested it. However, now I need to try this as a frittata 🙂 a great idea.
If I were to make it in the oven, I'd start it on the stove and add the eggs and finish in a preheated oven until set. I will work on a recipe but cannot say exactly when I will get that one published. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Enjoy.Reply

Thanks for the recipe. I am always looking for a way to get more veggies in. I think I will take Jason's advice on adding the turmeric as well.Reply
Eileen xo
Awesome! The turmeric will add both antioxidants and great flavor. I would love to hear how the recipe went for you.

Lovely recipe and beautiful presentation of the dish! Have you ever thought of adding some turmeric into that egg scramble? Turmeric is a natural anti-inflamatory and works wonders as an antioxidant as well. It has a bit of a kick to it but if you like your eggs spicy like I do, then it only enhances the flavor 🙂Reply
Eileen xo
Jason, turmeric would be a great addition to these egg. I would also make a cup of green tea and add in turmeric to the tea, for extra antioxidants! I am glad you enjoy the recipe!
