this looks delicious! Do you think it would work with an egg substitute?

My whole family loves this meal, even the meat eaters. We make it every Sunday for brunch and their are never any leftovers! Whenever we have potlucks I am always asked to bring this dish even if it isn't for breakfast.

This is one of my absolutely favorite recipes! I've added extra (doubled, in fact) apple to this, and it is even better. This is one of those dishes that improves in flavor as leftovers. I have to freeze the leftovers right away or I don't have enough to serve for another meal.
