Submitted by FLKeysJen

"Something different! A delicious breakfast or dinner that pleases people who don't like French Toast because it's too sweet. This was served at the bed and breakfast at Youngberg Hill Winery in the Oregon Wine Country."

Tasty! I think the tomatoes added a lot to it! It was a nice blend of spices, thanks for sharing!

What fantastic flavors!! I made for a lunch of one--so I just sliced a tomato in place of opening a whole can of stewed tomatoes and added some thinly sliced ham that needed to be used. Delicious, Jen. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Sprg.07.
