The Original Recipe:
I was given this recipe from a friend of my mom. I haven't made it yet, but it will be our breakfast on Christmas morning, so I thought I would share. I don't think you could go wrong with this dish at all. I have made other dishes similar, but the addition of the cream cheese to this has intrigued me. I cannot wait for breakfast in the morning. Merry Christmas Everyone!!

The Verdict:
Well, I hadn't had the chance to eat today. I woke up at 2 am with the lovely stomach flu on Christmas Day. My poor 5 year old did as well. However, the rest of the family said they loved this. I used 14 slices of bread and only 9 eggs, and it apparently turned out wonderful. I couldn't get a picture, nor could I be in the same room as the lovely smell coming from it. What a day!
***I made this dish recently for a church breakfast, and it was delicious!! I recommend using some syrup or thin out some jam to pour over top! YUM! It was really good! I would make it again!
