If you remember seeing this recipe somewhere, you’re right: it was the recipe of the month featured in our July newsletter. It was so popular that I decided to put it on the blog so everyone could try it! I’m generous like that 😉 

To make this even more gourmet for brunch, replace the ciabatta bread with croissants. Totally CRAY-CRAY!
