Recipe Introduction


Woodie's notes: This is a tried and true recipe I've made numerous times. I usually have to give my guests the recipe; they all love it. I think this recipe has been floating around for several years. I got it from Arthur's radio show one day. It looks beautiful and puffy when it comes out of the oven and then it sinks down real quick, but still tastes great! Because it�s so rich and sweet, bacon is a good accompaniment.
