Today’s recipe is inspired by my favorite breakfast place on the Jersey shore. The Turning Point is a breakfast / brunch only establishment, but, it is the best place to get the most scrumptious meals.

Over the last three or four years, I have tried to recreate that recipe but my memory has failed me. So, I adapted a new version of that recipe and it came out delicious. The recipe is coming tomorrow, so, keep an eye out for it.
