looks good but what are Boca crumbles? bacon substitute?

How many does this serve? I printed the recipe and will do some substituting. Thank you for another interesting recipe.

Why would you use soy milk, but than use dairy cheese and eggs from a chicken?
Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing, but I seem to think with a little more effort it could be vegan and then do no harm to any animals at all.

Matt, you are totally right about your comments. We do use soy milk as my daughters always had allergic reaction to cow milk. As of now they never had problems with eggs and / or cheese as well as yogurt. Not sure why. But since they were babies if I were to give them cow milk they would have horrible allergies. I even tried to buy organic milk as we try to go as organic as we can and that did not work either.

I will be adapting this recipe to suit my families eating likes and to food reactions that I have. I'm ok with chives. I can eat onions if they are cooked in a stew or soup. I can no longer eat them raw, on hamburgers, pizza, etc. I can't drink milk or use it in cereal. All of these foods give me terrible stomach distress. I have no problem with cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream...... And I have no problem with milk in cooking and baking.

My reaction to cow's milk whether it be 1%, 2%, Whole, has only been in the last 10 years. I don't know if it is age related or if they have changed the way they process it.

As a baby my son could not drink cow's milk. He drank soy. He grew out of it.

I have a skin condition which is a problem of the immune system. I have read that soy (because of the way it is processed for human consumption) is very hard on your immune system. As I worked to eliminate soy from almost everything I eat, my condition has cleared up considerably. It is near impossible anymore to find something without soy.

I will be using cow's milk, eliminating the onions and using broccoli instead of the spinach.

I like the basics of the recipes Sofia posts because they are simple and easy enough to adapt to ingredients that work for my family.

I'm going to have to try this, we love Boca crumbles and use them in various recipes. We've even made Boca chili.

Mau, if you weren't aware, the Boca product contains soy, so you may wish to substitute something else in.

I made it and it was delicious. I will definitely make it again. I used naturally smoked bacon instead of the Boca. I made it crisp and then crumbled it. I used butter instead of olive oil. You could use any ingredients you like, following the basic recipe of the egg mixture, bread and cheese. Next time I make it I might toast the bread first and try this with bits of ham.

I really liked being able to make it last night and then just putting it in the oven today. We had it for lunch.

@Chris, thanks for the heads up on the Boca containing soy. That is why I don't use any cooking sprays because the last time I checked the ingredients they use soy as the propellant.

Hey Sofia,

Is this something that tastes even better re-heated, as you suggest doing, or is it also just as good when it first comes out of the oven?

This looks/sounds excellent and is easily modifiable for personal tastes, so I can't wait to try it myself. I just picked up some eggs, so it's something that I'll be making soon :-)

James,
This is great coming out of the oven. I often make them at night time, so not to have to wake up even earlier to get it all done. My older daughter loves it cold, my youngest warm. So much easier to do it at night time, then I can quickly just re-warm it up for those who want it.
