    These were surprisingly good—super easy and the outside actually got golden. I used a little extra Italian seasoning and it tasted like comfort food but still “protein-y.”

    No offense, but this looks really unhealthy. Cheese and all those eggs? Ugh!

    You could add stuff like bell peppers, right? Just a thought! 😊

    Yum! My kids loved it! I didn’t have Italian seasoning, so I used taco spice. Still great!

    I don’t know about this… Chicken and eggs together? Seems weird.

    My family loved these. I didn’t have shredded chicken so I chopped cooked chicken and it worked. Next time I’ll try adding pepper.

    Not gonna lie, “pods” and the oval shapes confused me 😅 Also, 350°F until golden brown—how long is that? I guessed and mine were slightly overdone.

    Hmmm, not my fave… the eggs… too much egg.

      I actually love the eggs in it! They give it such a nice texture. Maybe try adding less next time?

    2. 2 stars
      What? Too much egg is like saying too much chicken! It’s a chicken dish! 😅
