Potato Sausage Casserole: Who wants breakfast?

Farm fresh eggs have amazingly bright yolks.

I had some friends over for breakfast last Sunday, the perfect occasion to celebrate the best meal of the day. Don’t get me wrong; lunch and dinner are okay, but let’s face it, they share the same menu items. Breakfast is unique enough to hold on to its moniker no matter what time it’s served. When it comes to the Big American Breakfast (BAM), I consider it a gift to the world that rivals such Yankee contributions as the fountain pen, peanut butter, moist towelette, Space Shuttle and waffle cone.

I thought I’d keep it simple:  fruit, farm fresh eggs scrambled (courtesy of the girls), blueberry scones and my potato sausage breakfast casserole cooked in a cast iron pan the size of a manhole cover.  Here’s how you make it.

Now you’re ready to climb a mountain or plow your back forty or collapse on the sofa with The New York Times. With a full stomach, Sunday is yours to decide.

  1. I love eggs. That’s really a beautiful photo. I need some girls to lay me some eggs, because the supermarket eggs sure aren’t as pretty and probably not half as flavorful.

  2. Also I love your manly version of a fritatta. I agree that breakfast can be the best meal of the day when done correctly, and that’s why we often eat it for dinner. 🙂

  3. Reading this brought memories of our brunch with the Jersey Girls! Mmmmmmmmmmmm
    I could go for one of your scones right now!!!
