The best ingredients from the country combined in a hearty recipe that tastes like grandma's.
How the farmer's breakfast awakens nostalgic feelings.
A farmer's breakfast, like the one Grandma once served, is a hearty, traditional dish that has passed down the generations.
This recipe earned the name farmer's breakfast because the base of potatoes, eggs and bacon, combined in a simple yet filling meal, gave farmers the energy they needed for a long day of work.
This classic of rural cuisine reflects the simplicity and richness of country life and tastes heartily good.
At Simply Tasty you will find a wide range of breakfast recipes from sweet to savory and from classic to unusual.
