To all of my loyal recipe followers, I would like to apologize for slacking and not posting anything new in a while. All three of you mean the world to me and I will try to be better. Luckily for all of us, my grandma has been busy cutting out recipes and taping them to index cards and I just got a new big batch of recipe cards last week. This recipe is fresh out of the new batch!
One word comes to mind with this recipe . . . . BRUNCH! Which is one of the best meals in existence. You can have breakfast foods and booze all in the same meal while it's daylight outside. And can you imagine this scrumptious delight with a mimosa next to it?!? I sure can! But seriously now, if you are looking for a quick breakfast/brunch recipe that will impress your friends, then this is it. It's very tasty, but be warned. It's very sweet and pretty rich, but if you have a couple of mimosas you probably won't care.
