Notes
- FREEZE. To prepare your easy Christmas breakfast further in advance than overnight, cover the dish with plastic wrap and again with foil. Label and freeze for 1-2 months. Thaw in the fridge before removing the wrappings and baking.
- Store leftovers. Divide into individual-sized storage containers. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw, if applicable, and reheat in the microwave or oven.
