Hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner. This is a perfect Christmas morning breakfast. You make it the night before and just pop it in the oven. I love the praline for the caramel taste and the pecans add just the right amount of crunch. I recently made this for dinner (hey, sometimes you need breakfast for dinner!!!) and it was a big hit. Of course, being a Paula Deen recipe it has a decent amount of butter but it was well worth splurging on. I hope you enjoy this delicious breakfast recipe and have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.
