Lancaster, PA - also known as 'Pennsylvania Dutch Country' is known for it's covered bridges, shoofly pie and horse and buggys. Growing up in Amish country, I spent my days sucking honeysuckle, attending 'barn parties' and saying prayer at the beginning of every school day. Friends and neighbors were treated like family. If a someone was in need, had a new baby, or a recent death, friends and neighbors would cook a homemade dish and bring it over. With that being said I can tell you first-hand that the Amish and Mennonites are some of the best cooks I've ever met. So, when I saw this Amish breakfast recipe on Pinterest I had to check it out.
Although this is a Dutch County classic, I think it would be enjoyed by just about anyone from any decent. Perfect for holidays or lazy Sunday mornings, this dish can be made ahead and warmed up again and again. Filled with 3 types of cheeses, bacon and eggs, this is a breakfast dish your loved ones won't forget! Check out the recipe below!
