Reviews
As a novice, this was very easy to follow, make, and reheat the leftovers. The option to prepare in advance makes this a great tasting breakfast for someone that is on the run. Having a smaller household, I cut the recipe by 1/2. Discovered adding my breakfast favorites (mushrooms, bell peppers, jalaepanos) easily made this a repeat-often-recipe.
I love this recipe!! Quick and easy to prepare. Kid friendly. The only change made was I buttered the english muffin. Will make this again, and again.
this has been a faamily favorite for over 30 years. my grandmom taught my mom and i was taught by mom and i have passed it onto my daughters. the recipe is fine as it goes but i always tell my girls its a recipe you cant mess up. play with it.
This was very easy and everyone really liked it. An easily customizable recipe.
I always start with this recipe, but doctor it up all the time. I might use ham, bacon, pork sausage, or whatever other meat is available at the time. Also I might add bread, eggs, waffles, frozen French toast, mushrooms, or bread cut into 1 inch squares or strips. The dish comes out perfect and I’ve never had a complaint.
