      Made this with blueberries and a sweeter kind of apple, rather than tart (what we had on hand). It was absolutely delicious. Not what I expected. Like a very custardy French toast. Cooked it several minutes longer than the recipe called for.

      Substitutions: freshly milled whole spelt flour; lemon juice + whole milk. Bake for 22 minutes.

      Like the idea for this dish (the apples and brown sugar in the bottom in particular) but the batter cooks up very thick and heavy (made in an 11” cast iron skillet). Would try a different batter recipe next time and add more apples if cooking with 11” cast iron skillet (to completely cover the bottom of the pan).

Publishers Text

From the James Beard Award winner, Top Chef Masters contestant, and acclaimed author comes this fun, festive, and highly caffeinated ode to the joys and rituals of the Southern breakfast, with 75 recipes inspired by the author's popular restaurant in Oxford, Mississippi.

John Currence is one of the most celebrated and well-loved chefs in the South. Among his string of highly successful restaurants in Oxford, Mississippi, Big Bad Breakfast holds a special place in diners' hearts: It is a gathering place where people from all walks come together to share the most important meal of the day, breakfast. Southerners know how to do breakfast right, and Currence has elevated it to an artform: dishes like Banana-Pecan Coffee Cake, Spicy Boudin and Poached Eggs, and Oyster Pot Pie are comforting, soulful, and packed with real Southern flavor. Big Bad Breakfast is full of delicious recipes that will make the day ahead that much better--not to mention stories of the wonderful characters who fill the restaurant every morning, and a meditation on why the Southern breakfast is one of America's most valuable culinary contributions.
