This recipe is from the classic cookbook titled Someone's In The Kitchen With Dinah (Dinah Shore, Doubleday, 1971).

As described on book's cover, this "Dinah Shore's personal cookbook - Dinah tells exactly how she prepares over 200 of her favorite recipes in her own kitchen."

There's a chapter dedicated to "Eggs, Brunch and Bread", although it's a very small part of a rather extensive cookbook.

Dinah Shore introduced this recipe like this in her cookbook, "My cousin, Selma Lewis, was one of the most popular girls at Vanderbilt University when she was a student there. She's bright, pretty, laughs a lot and gloriously, and - something I didn't know until I visited her and her husband recently in Memphis - is also a great cook. Here's a sample."

Mr Breakfast would like to thank Mr Breakfast for this recipe.
