Easter
Divinely Decadent Breakfast
- Serves 2
Author Notes
I love-love-love breakfast. I treasure little restaurants where you can get breakfast all day, and my favorite venue for entertaining is brunch. This dish came about because i bought caviar to use in hors d'ouevres for the Super Bowl and then spent that day and night in the hospital. Recipe browsing yielded a smoked salmon hash that I adapted, and it went from there. This would work with all manner of eggs, but my personal preference is over easy. And it should definitely be served with mimosas. —Kayb

I'm a business professional who learned to cook early on, and have expanded my tastes and my skills as I've traveled and been exposed to new cuisines and new dishes. I love fresh vegetables, any kind of protein on the grill, and breakfasts that involve fried eggs with runny yolks. My recipes tend toward the simple and the Southern, with bits of Asia or the Mediterranean or Mexico thrown in here and there. And a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a float in the lake, as pictured, is a pretty fine lunch!
