Author Notes

I'm forever creating new recipes in my kitchen. This is one of favorites! It can be served cold, hot or warm. Serve it for brunch with one or two poached eggs on top or for dinner with sliced steak, grilled chicken or even fish. For a vegetarian option add red kidney beans or just enjoy as is.

I cook like my grandmother, by feel- no recipe. Today I wrote down my recipe so I could share it with you. I hope you like it .. —Nicole Kruzick

Browned mixed mushrooms can go in a large mixing bowl.
