About

This is our Favorite Summer Brunch! It's a refreshing and fun twist on a classic breakfast — an egg in a basket! The basket in this case is actually a round slice of bell pepper, the perfect well for a runny, savory egg! Served on top of toast and with a sprinkling of sharp and nutty parmesan, Favorite Summer Brunch is sure to be a favorite for you, too! The crisp salad is a nice touch, too!
