    i have substituted fried bacon bits instead of the torn ham, but it adds to the preparation time. Also, if basil isn't available a small bunch of roughly chopped parsley does just as well. I think i have this recipe at least twice a month on saturday mornings. it's great.

    Much yummy eggy goodness - watch out if you're using a fan oven though or the eggs can go hard! Add some mixed herbs to the tom's instead of basil - yum! dxx

    really tasty. i added some chopped onions, mushrooms and courgette which gave it a nice flavour and meant you could have it for dinner rather than brunch.

    Delicious. I made this for breakfast yesterday. It came out really nice, although I made some changes. I used fresh tomatoes instead of tinned ones. I didn't use basil, as it wasn't available at that moment. And some extra little spices (dried chili powder, pepper, salt) for the sauce; as we are prefer spicy food. So, the dish came out really tasty. Yummy!

    It was easy to make and I quite enjoyed it but it was too tomatoey for the children and they wouldn't eat it

    Did this for a big brunch for my parents before heading back to Uni this afternoon. Went down really well and great twist to the conventional breakfast! Thumbs Up, I also added the bacon as suggested and a little cayenne pepper for a kick

    This is gorgeous. The only changes I made were to use a clove of smoked garlic, grate some parmesan on the bottom of the dish and top with more cheese. The egg took a little longer than stated. It does come out EXTREMELY hot though, so avoid burning palate!!!
