Our Story
This is an adaptation of a Paula Dean recipe. When my nephews were little, my sister started having us come to her house on Christmas morning, early, to open presents with them and have breakfast. One year, this was the featured dish, and it has been a Christmas morning staple ever since. I was really happy to share it with you all at our holiday breakfast this past year. I don't have a picture to upload, as there are never any leftovers.
