STORY BEHIND THE DISH
I watched this recipe being made on an episode of Diner's Drive-ins & Dives at the Darby's Cafe. Thought it was a good combo & wanted to try to recreate it. I used a few different ingredients & did not top this with a cranberry compote like they did, but I thought it turned out great!
MODIFICATIONS/Whole30
This
is
whole30 & paleo approved but the recipe can be modified to your
palate. If you like spicy you can add some red pepper flakes to this dish. I liked it just as a breakfast itself but you can top it with some eggs. It has a slight Thanksgiving Stuffing taste to it, so you can even use this as a dinner side as well.
