I'm more improvisational. A recipe is a starting point for me. I modify, improvise, brainstorm, and invent.
The thing is, Cruzette, I know both you and I are great cooks. We just take slightly diferent routes to get to great results!
Leo, I've done my fair share of experimenting with recipes too. I usually omit an ingredient I don't have on hand or don't care for in some dishes. However, when it comes to baked goods, I would never change the ratio of the liquids, flour, baking powder or baking soda. That's the science part and for best results I always follow these ingredients to a T 
The original question that was asked, "Would it be alright to add more eggs". I don't really think that adding more eggs to the Impossible pie recipe would work. Maybe if you omitted the Bisquick altogether, but experience tells me that with extra eggs in the recipe along with the Bisquick would result in a soggy dish. I don't think that the Bisquick would bake. Now, I am not 100%, so if anyone wants to test this out, please be my guest and let us know the results
yup! I don't change the ratio too much either, just sometimes the type. Also depends on how expensive the ingredients are. But I cook more by feel now. I don't own measuring spoons, I measure by hand.
Happy cooking!

Who was it said that great cooks think alike

Iowa City Quiche
1 cup cubed cooked ham
1 cup broccoli florets (microwave for about 3-5 minutes)
1 1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice
1/2 cup chopped onion
Place in the bottom of a well greased 9 inch round pan.
Beat together 1 1 /2 cups milk, 3 eggs 3/4 cup bisquick, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper. Pour over ingredients in baking dish.
400 degree oven for 35 - 45 minutes.
I like to serve this for a guest brunch, along with some fresh fruit and maybe some muffins. However it works for a dinner as well, and it's especially good the next day when re-heated.

I made this with Sausage for this past weekend and it was wonderful!!! Browned the sausage and drained it before adding to pie plate. Didn't use the onions & garlic. I think next time I'll use either spicy or hot sausage. I cooked it before we left, cooled it and stored in refrigerator. Cut our servings and reheated in the microwave.
I'm also going to make it to have to bring to work with me for breakfast...cheaper than sausage & biscuits!
