Fabulously rich and oh-so simple. Prepare this overnight casserole dish the night before and simply pop it in the oven 45 minutes before your guests awake and you will be the star of the weekend. Serve buffet style alongside fresh fruit salad, scrambled eggs, savory sausage and strong coffee! If there are left-overs, they are equally as delicious the next day. Super recipe to take to the cottage.
