Brinner – just might be our family’s favorite kind of dinner. What’s brinner? It’s “breakfast for dinner” – br-inner!
I also love brinners because they usually don’t require much thought or energy…but recently I was inspired to use a French loaf with our brinner and the end result — divine!
This is the kind of thing you could order at one of those breakfast places. It’s over the top on the flavor (thanks to the sour cream and dill!), but it’s super simple to prepare on a weeknight!
Get this on the table and you’ll be ‘winning at dinner!’
Here’s the ‘play by play’ – taken on my phone! And here’s the recipe…
