My husbands favorite breakfast consists of an egg over medium, tater tots, bacon and sometimes a piece of toast. If weekend breakfast was up to him it would be his favorite every single time. But thankfully it is not up to him and I get to try out many different breakfasts.
My husband enjoys my breakfasts, but none of them have the appeal to him like his favorite. That was until I made this. He said this was just as good as his favorite breakfast, maybe even a little bit better.
