Ingredients: 

• 3 Cups Focaccia, 1-inch cubes. Toasted. 

• 4-5 eggs Scrambled, do not oversaturate the bread. 

• 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream 

• 1 Tablespoon of fresh chopped oregano

• 1/8 cup of fresh chopped Basil 

• 1/8 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes 

• 1/8 cup of shredded parmesan cheese

• 1/8 cup of prosciutto or bacon crumbles (optional) 

• 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil (for toasting the bread and coating the baking dish) 

Directions: 

1. Cube up 3 cups of focaccia. Cut bread into squares 1 in x 1 in and drizzle with olive oil lightly. Then bake until toasted, 325 degrees for 5 minutes rotating then 5 minutes more. 

2. Scramble 4-5 eggs, add the 2 tbsp of heavy cream. 

3. Add chopped basil & oregano, chopped sun dried tomatoes to the egg mix and add to a large bowl with the cubed toasted focaccia. Toss lightly, do not let it get soggy. 

4. Transfer to a square pyrex 8-inch x 8-inch that is sprayed with olive oil & put directly into the preheated oven. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. At 25 minutes, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake the remaining 5 minutes while cheese melts.

5. Take it out of the oven & cool slightly. Cut into squares. Serve and drizzle generously with FF hot honey sauce. Eat immediately. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. 

This recipe is great with bacon & eggs. Drink pairings with this recipe include sangria, prosecco, wine, mimosas & micheladas.
