Christmas is such a special time of the year. It is my favorite holiday and so I always look for special foods to make. I make traditional things, but also like to try new recipes, especially for Christmas breakfast. This one was easy to assemble, but had to be refrigerated overnight. The flavor was amazing. I think you will really like it. Try topping with a tablespoon of sugar free maple syrup too! Maybe you can try it for New Year's breakfast!
