My family loves this breakfast loaf. It's a favorite of ours on holidays. It's great cold or just out of the oven.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve this loaded breakfast roll the day after Christmas or Easter. It's a delicious way to use leftover ham. The outside is similar to a homemade biscuit that's tender and flaky. It holds in the filling of scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon. Tea suggests serving with tomatoes, but sliced fresh fruit would be good, too. This breakfast roll is an all-in-one breakfast.
