One of my family's faves! Years ago, sweet Chef Paula at the 4UR Ranch created this masterpiece to feed the seasonal summertime staff. Over the years, I've experimented with different additions & come up with the following amazing dessert-for-breakfast type dish.
Easily adaptable to suit anyone's tastebuds & dietary needs. Enjoy!
