I had this dessert at the Scargo Cafe in Dennis, MA while on vacation attending my brother's wedding. Delicious! And I'm assured by Massachusetts-ians that this is a bona fide regional specialty rather than some BS branding strategy hatched by the State Department of Tourism (Indiana Hardwoods, anyone?).
This is a great way to use up a large number of eggs, if you find yourself with a surplus (you know who you are out there, you chicken-raisers). I think this could be made with whatever cereal you want, though using, say, Cocoa Krispies would detract from the authenticity of the dish. If you want to make a half recipe (this does make a lot, but it keeps well in the fridge), halve all the ingredients...I'd use 5 large eggs or 4 jumbo...and bake this in an 8x8 dish. Start checking for doneness after 60 minutes.
The Scargo Cafe's recipe is found here, but I thought it was lacking in, er, directions. Here are my directions.
