This easy gourmet breakfast dish features incredible, edible eggs with sausage, potatoes, veggies, and cheese.  Guests and staff love it.  It is delicious in taste and texture and easy to make, nutritionally dense and gluten free.  We love busting into that sunny, creamy yolk and having it run all over and sauce the entire dish.

The rich, creamy egg is center stage on our Breakfast Gratin.  Are you a fan of the common egg?  Eggs are so versatile that if we count the ways we use and love the egg we would have enough for all of the 100 folds in a chef’s toque.

We heartily submit this easy gourmet breakfast dish not only for Breakfast, but also for your Breakfast for Dinner nights. We recommend a glass of crisp Rose or a White Burgundy with this dish. ENJOY!
