The Italian one is good! I've made it, and lived to tell the tale provided you have one portion, it is fine - probably less fat and fewer calories than in most pizza slices in the US!

I have only seen this sandwich eaten, it really doesn't fit my profile of food I want to attempt

Even better, my dad used to first pan-toast bread in the bacon grease and THEN scramble the eggs. Mighty tasty, but I'm pretty sure that this contributed to an early death.

Ohhhhh memories of brownies (the younger girl scouts, not the dessert!)

We stayed in this little cottage for 'pack holiday', and the leaders made fried breakfast each morning, and did the fried bread - first time I ever had it - in the bacon fat.

And you won't get much healthier than that all time Scottish favourite recipe......"tablet".....apart from the cup of milk that is.
Can't believe you left off the deep fried mars bars!

My Dad did this too. He also cooked pancakes with bacon grease.

I think traditional pound cake is a pretty unhealthy recipe
Pound of Butter
Pound Of Sugar
Pound of Eggs
Flour, salt etc.

But, so tasty! But I think it makes about three loaves, so it's not quite as bad as it sounds.

There were 2 big baking dishes of them at the Midwestern Easter brunch I attended this year. I ate a lot.

Had a friend that introduced me to bacon gravy for breakfast.

Fry up a bunch of bacon. Use the fat to make a "sawmill gravy" (roux with flour, then add milk and generous amount of pepper).

Serve over biscuits, toast, pieces of cardboard...whatever.

lethal.

My mother used to make a breakfast dish that consisted, as far as I could tell, of:

4 packs of refrigerated, store-bought biscuit dough* (so 40 biscuits), with each biscuit cut into quarters, then rolled in a mix of brown sugar, cinammon, and butter, then mashed together in a bundt pan, then drizzled with more brown sugar and butter, and then baked. The butter:brown sugar:biscuit weight ratio was probably something like 1:1:1.

Done properly, the dish has a really hard (but sweet) shell and a soft (but sweet) interior.

It probably isn't that unhealthy, but it has to have a ton of sugar in it and I'm shocked that I wasn't diagnosed with diabetes growing up.



*And since we were poor, we weren't buying the healthy stuff, but more like the cheapest, bottom of the bin stuff that is full of chemically created compounds and substances. Nowadays, I can't eat the stuff without wretching, and it is home made biscuits for me or nothing.

Actually, I think that's a Pillsbury recipe.

Could be. My mother isn't above shamelessly stealing someone else's recipe and calling it her own.

I can't say it was Pillsbury, but I've certainly had variations on this as well. Not an original.

Monkey bread - although this one has nuts.
