When Maya was a baby, the Friedericks went to visit Uncle Eddie and Aunt Janet in Las Vegas. Aunt Janet made this incredible breakfast. Every time we eat it, it reminds us of her. It's a great go-to when you are having a brunch, as you assemble the night before. It is also highly customizable - add whatever you want to it!
