Is the amount of egg(s) correct? 11 seems like a lot.
It is 1 egg, not sure how that happened. Thanks.
This looks yummy–like a little mini-kugel. (It’s really 1 egg, though, right?)
Mmmm, I make a leftover pasta dish that’s similar, only with mushrooms instead of olives. Love the crispiness.
Taste wonderfull with a Tehina sauce
