MAPLE TOAST AND EGGS

Maple Toast and Eggs image

My home's in the country, right next door to my sister and brother-in-law's. They and their two children all enjoy this dish each time I serve it as a special evening meal-although it can also be made for breakfast or lunch. -Susan Buttel, Plattsburgh, New York
