About
Why did we name this one Happy-Chef Breakfast Bake? That's a question we'd love to answer. Many a time, dishes focus on those enjoying them, which makes plenty of sense. However, we had the idea of creating a simple, yet delicious breakfast dish that honors the hands of those who prepared it! And what does that mean? Well, this is one of those dump-and-go kind of deals, where the one in the kitchen doesn't have to spend too much time making it. And better yet, it's best when it's prepared ahead of time, so whenever the time comes to enjoy, this melty, fluffy, bacon-infused bake can be ready in a jiffy (an hour... but that's hands off time, which feels like a breeze to the one making it!). You see what we mean? Happy-Chef Breakfast Bake is for all those out there who make all the meals! May you enjoy its delicious flavors with effortless ease!
