Potato Waffle Benedict
We had an wonderful Memorial weekend with about a dozen friends in NYC. One of the highlights was an amazing brunch at The Smith in the East Village.

Place some of the ground beef , then top with the mozzarella cheese ( I also added a teaspoon of Quark cheese on each layer to add a rich but guilt free creaminess) and repeat the process until all your ingredients are used up. Top with sauce and mozzarella and cover. Bake covered at 375° for 40 min, then uncovered 15 minutes. I like a little crispiness on top, so I also broil on high for 3-5 minutes at the end.
