Wonderful! I was looking for a impressive breakfast meal to make while my family is here.

Excellent!

I made it tonight, and everyone was pleased. I made it with regular (full) cream rather than light, I used a mix of freshly grated Parmesan with some Gouda instead of Swiss (Emanthaler), and I added mushrooms. The pastry was really nice too.

Saving this one to make again!

BTW, I think the measurements for salt and pepper should be TEAspoons, and not TABLEspoons. Well, that’s too much salt for me, in any case.
