Utica Style Breakfast

Amazing what you can do with leftovers. Buttered potatoes, spinach or escarole, ham, peppers and eggs make this the most delicious combinations of flavors and really can be a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. Check out this meat packed meal that everyone in the house will love. Oh and you can add whatever you like I have some other suggestions below.

So don't throw out those leftovers let's get creative!

This is a typical Utica New York Breakfast.

It's full of sausage, capicola, escarole or spinach and just bursting with delicious fresh flavors.

If you ever get to my hometown you can always find a great restaurant that has a delicious breakfast with eggs,escarole and Italian meats.
