Laura’s Christmas Breakfast Casserole
By Laura Kelly-Pifer
It wasn’t that long ago but Christmas mornings were a little stressful in our home. The girls were little and excited about opening their gifts and trying to get them to wait while I was making breakfast did not go over well. So, I taking a recipe that a friend had given me, I modified it to our liking. Today, I’m sharing my family’s traditional recipe with you. I must admit that it’s delicious, it’s quick and it’s easy to make. The extra benefit is that when my girls wake up, I pop it in the oven and we sit together in our PJ’s as a family and open our gifts. Once the casserole is cooked, breakfast is served. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. Merry Christmas!
