I cannot take credit for this recipe. It is a staple with my sister-in-law’s family, and I have adopted it as my own (and then altered it slightly). It is great for brunch, for meal prep, for parties, for casserole drop-offs. I love making it when I know I’ll have guests in town, and it will forever be my postpartum go-to!
