What’s better than bacon for breakfast?
Great question! I don’t know. But if you layer it with sweet potatoes, cheese, bread and eggs…it makes deliciousness!
I called Mother Dearest a couple weeks ago, asking her if she knew of any addictive, scrumptious breakfast recipe I could use for work. I was, after all, displaying my domestic diva-ness to all my co-workers. It had to be a winner.
Thankfully, Mother Dearest came through. I’ve made this recipe twice now (I changed it a bit from mi madre’s), and it’s been exactly what I hoped: addictive.
Let’s face it though, what’s not addictive about bacon?
Enjoy! (Sorry there’s no picture!!)
