Overnight Breakfast Souffle’

Overnight Breakfast Soufflé

My mom would always make this casserole the night before Thanksgiving so that we would have a piping hot breakfast while she was busy preparing the turkey.  I love to make it for Christmas morning. If you like your eggs spicy, put a little Tabasco on your serving piece.
Plan Ahead Note: This casserole must be refrigerated overnight before baking.
