As I’m cooking and eating dinner, I’m on to “what do you
want for breakfast?”
I never thought I would, but I’ve turned into my mother ~~~ It’s always about the next meal…
And for me, the next meal is the best meal, my favorite
meal: BREAKFAST!
It makes me happy when there’s a “crowd” around for breakfast; I like to cook a big one for everyone. And for these breakfasts, I sometimes lean towards serving a casserole dish like this one.
This recipe is put together the night before, and then popped
in the oven the next morning. It’s a sweet treat for breakfast that pleases
everyone with its good flavors and its bit of crunchiness.
Top it with whatever floats your boat ~ fresh fruit, confectioner’s sugar, or whipped cream; I myself, like it with a pat of butter and maple syrup.
With a side of crisp bacon, it’s heavenly! And, maybe a fried egg---over easy,
whole-wheat toast, hash browns, a couple of sausage patties, a bear claw, some
melon, or berries, and my home-made cherry jam…
