Summer Breakfast....Well, Maybe Not

Summer break means I have the chance to make a big delicious breakfast for my boys every single morning! Ha! I can't even type that without giggling. Full transparency- that is SO not happening. See, none of us are huge breakfast eaters...at breakfast time. I love breakfast foods, but enjoy them much more for brunch, or supper. My husband and children are the same. Yes, my boys get fed every single morning, don't think I'm starving them. But it's something simple. Very simple.

Why am I posting a delicious breakfast recipe then? Uh...."brinner" of course. You know, breakfast for dinner. It's one of our favorite traditions, and I usually do it once a week. Plus, I know there are plenty of you out there who indeed do like to make this type of thing to make sure your family is full before they head out the door. And of course we can never go wrong with new ideas for a delicious. lazy weekend brunch.

This dish was inspired by a couple different things. There was something similar on the menu at Bob Evans when I was a waitress there...over 20 years ago. (Wow. That hurt to type. I am getting OLD)

The other comes from the teenager's favorite dish to order at our favorite Greek diner. It's an "everything but the kitchen sink" type of dish where all the yummy breakfast foods are in one skillet.

You can easily switch out the type of egg and protein for your favorite. Add some avocado and salsa for a Tex-Mex flare! This is simply a template for so many yummy combinations!

If you are one of those moms who are up early every day of summer making a big spread for your family to sit down to, my hat is off to you. I am many things, but that will never be one of them. Pop tarts and donut holes are my friends! But if you want a delicious brunch or breakfast for supper, I am totally your girl!

Country Biscuit Breakfast

1 (8 count) biscuits, baked according to directions

4 eggs, cooked to your likeness

8 slices bacon, cooked crisp

3 c. frozen diced potatoes, cooked according to directions

1 lb. pork sausage

1/4 c. flour

2 c. milk

Salt and Pepper

Shredded Cheese

Dried Parsley

While biscuits bake heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown sausage until no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Sprinkle flour over meat. Stir. Slowly add milk. Stir. Increase heat to high. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 10 minutes until thickened, stirring often. When biscuits and eggs are cooked, place 1 1/2 biscuits on a plate. Top with a few spoonfuls of gravy. Add egg, then potatoes and 2 slices bacon each. Top with more sausage gravy. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley if desired. *NOTES* I fried my potatoes earlier in the day and reheated them in the oven while the biscuits baked. We like over easy (dippy) eggs with this, but scrambled and fried work well too. You could also use homemade home fries if you like. This makes enough for 4 portions.
