my son and i head out for brunch
on Saturdays and we’ve seen versions of this dish in most diners
♥
Impact Magazine asked me to whip up a healthy brunch for their
and this creating my own spin on this recipe came to mind straight away
♥
it’s super easy to make
and the tomato sauce can be prepared in a large batch the evening before
making it the perfect brunch dish to serve your buddies
♥
this version is vegetarian
but it’s super easy to add some sauted organic sausage slices to the mix
you could also try chunks of buffalo mozarella if you want to get your cheese on
♥
the quality of ingredients is everything with simple recipes like this, try to buy organic, market fresh ingredients..
yum
♥
serve with High Test Bulletproof Coffee, Morning Glory Muffins
{ recipe in a post to follow }
and a lot of laughs
