Chef Tips

  • When it comes to holiday mornings, you want to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying your family moments. Build this dish the night before, but instead of putting it in the oven right away, wrap it with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge overnight. Then in the morning, get up, throw it in the oven uncovered and curl back into bed until it’s ready.
