Eggs For Days!

I recognize that not everyone has a need to use up extra eggs the way we do, due to the fact that your backyard has a swingset in it, not a chicken coop! Still, whether you buy your eggs or collect them, this is a wonderful egg recipe for one of those nights where you need it quick and simple and meatless!
