Breakfast Hash
The recipe is very good, but I would suggest that instead of poring the egg product over the veggies and then stirring until they are cooked, to let them set a while over med heat, then top them with the cheese and put them under the broiler for a few minutes until cooked and slightly browned. You'll get a frittata this way.
