Came up with this as a quick and filling breakfast while I was pregnant. The whole family loves it. I’ve found the leftovers are a little better because the flavors have a chance to blend more. It looks like a lot but it’s actually quick & easy to put together. Please follow the steps for mixing ingredients as they’re listed… This prevents the “floating” of the dry ingredients and makes for a smooth & blended caramel colored egg mix. Also, I always spread the cream cheese & pie filling over the bread slices rather than pouring it on top so they end up as “sandwiches”. We dish them out as sandwiches but have to eat with forks 🙂
