About

There is a bit of irony here; it's called the Simple Oven Breakfast, and truly it is not a difficult meal to make. Yet it tastes so elegant and delicious that calling it Simple Oven Breakfast undersells it... quite a bit, in fact! Tender, herbaceous potatoes are coated in butter, which is already a brilliant idea for breakfast. But then, nestled between the potatoes are cheesy, runny eggs, baked to perfection. Yes, this is one meal that you'll be marveling at, no matter how simple or ironic it seems!
