 Okay, I have only made this once.  My son ate it, but I didn't like it much at the time.  I think I was hoping for a different taste or that I wasn't expecting something so breadlike to taste like eggs.  I am willing to try to make it again, but it will have to be a time when I really want to eat eggs.
