  10. I made both with mushroom and cheese & Chicken for Christmas few months ago for breakfast brunch! Let me tell you, these were a big hit! This was a new dish I introduced to my American family and they LOVED it and asked me to for more orders. It did take me some time to make this, but it sure is worth all the time making these. I also made some in advance and refrigerated it since they do take time to make. Loved both of the recipes.
