A blog about the very best of homemade everything
I got the idea to make these because I made delicious baked ricotta for breakfast and wanted to put it on an english muffin, but I was feeling too lazy awesome to go to the store and buy them. So I hunted a little on the internet and smushed together a couple different recipes. A [...]
I adore breakfast food. This recipe jumped out of my cookbook when the author likened the dish to having cheesecake for breakfast without all the fat.

That’s right, I’ve broken out the unprecedented ALL-CAPS title because today, my friends, I have a crazy-awesome announcement, and am literally jumping up and down because I don’t know what else to do.

Today’s post is many things. It is a tribute to a wonderful trip to Spain, where I first tried this sandwich. It is an outlet to express love for delicious flavors.
