Breakfast Souffle

So, this recipe and dish has a lot of significance to me and my life. First off, it is the absolute best, most delicious breakfast dish I have ever had in my life. My mom would make this for my family and I the morning after or on every holiday. She would make it Christmas morning, the morning after Thanksgiving, Easter morning, on our birthdays, the 4^th of July. We would have it every year for all of those holidays that matter to us. It is so special to me because it reminds me of my Papa who passed away on July 4^th, 2012. He would always be there every time that we ate this. He and I would even help my mom make it and it was so much fun. He was my best friend ever and now each time I have this delicious dish, I just get reminded of all the amazing memories I have of him throughout my life. We would always start by preparing the dish the night before and it was always a blast because he taught me the correct way on how to cut food with a big knife and how to avoid cutting my fingers off. Then, we would go to sleep and finish the rest of the dish in the morning. This was always my favorite part because while they breakfast would be cooking for that hour my Papa and I would listen to music and dance and sing along to it or watch a movie together. It was without a doubt, the best time ever and that is what I think of every time that I eat this breakfast soufflé. That is why this dish plays such an important and significant role in my life.
