Cooks' Note

This hearty “ranchman” breakfast provides a good combination of protein and carbohydrates and should keep you quite satisfied until your midmorning snack of a nice piece of fruit or a few nuts. It’s so big it would be difficult to flip, so we just stick it under the broiler and let it puff up instead. Serve with stone-ground whole-wheat toast.
