Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
This recipe was just what I was looking for. My daughter and grandson were coming for a quick visit from out of state and I wanted to fix them a grandpa-style Farmers breakfast for brunch. I knew the basics of how to make this, but I used your recipe to pull everything together into one tasty package. To your nice recipe, I made some slices of fried scrapple on the side (a family memory), some fresh-ground homemade bread and a slice of apple pie. Who couldn’t enjoy all of that? Thanks for the help and the memories.
Paul, So happy to hear that you found what you needed here and made wonderful memories with your precious family! 💕
