‘Tis the season to be foodie…. fa la la la la… la la la la. Yes, I’m just chock full of recipes this time of year. This one is perfect for New Year’s Day breakfast. It’s a make ahead casserole. My mom discovered this at a B&B a few years ago, and we’ve had it at every family brunch since then. I also make it for Christmas morning. There aren’t words to express how yummy this is. Unfortuately, I forgot to take photos when I made it for X-Mas, so you’ll have to deal without the imagery. I’ll try to photograph when I make it next, and then add the pics to this post later.
