As my daughter pointed out, this would make a great Thanksgiving Day breakfast. But I don't think I'll be able to wait until Thanksgiving to try it again!
Here's the recipe from Kevin at Closet Cooking (the great photo above is his, too):

Kevin takes the best pics! They always look very clean and professional, and food is difficult to photograph!
