When it comes to Christmass morning breakfast my mother always went all out. She treated breakfast just as seriously as she treated our big holiday feast. Mom was a sweetheart like that. She always made sure her family was fed well. heck, she made sure the neighbors were fed well LOL. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? Sharing and caring for others? To me, that is exactly what it is about.
This delicious egg nog French toast casserole is made the night before so all you have to do is wake and bake! It’s a wonderful casserole to slip into the oven while everyone is preoccupied with opening up their presents.
