• My Note: It is great for breakfast or brunch, but it also is great served for dinner and guests love it! Don't be swayed from preparing this because of having to clean a few dishes and utensils. Any dish worth making is easily overlooked by having to clean up afterwards. I just clean as I cook, doesn't bother me at all.
