Notes: For many years, I made eggs Benedict for Christmas breakfast. Then we grew, and I couldn't efficiently whip out 14 or 15 orders of eggs Benedict. So, I started making these casseroles instead. Hazel thinks it's always been that way (Strata for Xmas breakfast) and that it will never be different.
