Christmas is all about traditions and for my family much of it is rooted in the food that we eat. Christmas morning is so much fun! I love watching the kids race around the house, opening up presents and seeing their big smiles and hearing those joyful giggles. After the fun of it all, we have a nice breakfast. I am exhausted by this time in the day so I make a great casserole ahead and just pop it in the oven. It is so easy and tastes like Christmas in a dish.

This is one recipe that has it all.

Meat, eggs, bread and cheese and it tastes amazing!

My mom always called it morning wife saver and this tradition started with her. I have heard other families make something similar to this casserole but with different variations. This is the one that we make.

Christmas Morning Casserole

Recipe:

10 slices bread no crust

12 slices ham thinly sliced

Thick slices old cheddar cheese

6 large eggs

1/2 tsp black pepper ground

1 tsp dry mustard

1/4 cup chives chopped

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp hot sauce

3 cups whole milk

1/2 cup butter melted

1 cup corn flakes cereal crushed

You just whip up the eggs and add all the seasonings in a large bowl.

I usually double the recipe so it makes 2 or one extra large casserole.

Take bread and cut off the crusts

Slice thick slices of cheese

Layer the casserole in this order:

Bread

Ham

Cheese

Bread

The egg topping goes on the top of your casserole

In a large bowl add melted butter and crushed up cornflakes until mixed. This topping goes on the top layer of the dish.

Bake at 350 for an hour or until cooked and brown. I prefer to cook it longer so it is really cooked well and the top is nice and crispy.
