This is a great brunch casserole that is assembled the night before and refrigerated. It's fantastic baked Christmas morning while the presents are being opened.

It's from a wildly popular series of Canadian cookbooks called The Best of Bridge.

Wifesaver Breakfast Casserole (Best of Bridge)
16 slices bread crusts removed
16 slices Canadian back bacon or ham
16 slices sharp cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2-1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 cup minced green onion
1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
1-2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
crushed Corn Flakes or Special K

Set 8 pieces of bread into a 9" x 13" buttered, glass baking dish. Cover bread with slices of back bacon. Lay slices of cheddar cheese on top of bacon and then cover with remaining slices of bread to make it like a sandwich.

In a bowl, beat eggs and pepper. To the egg mixture add dry mustard, onion, red pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and milk.

Pour over the sandwiches, cover and let stand in fridge overnight. In morning, melt butter, pour over top. Cover with Special K or crushed Corn Flakes. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour at 350F. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Orange Chocolate Crepes (Milk Calendar) Crepes: 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt 3 eggs 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half-and-half cream 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter, melted Butter for cooking Filling: 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar 4 seedless oranges, 1 zested 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped dark chocolate In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. In a measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together eggs, Cream and melted butter until blended. Gradually whisk into flour mixture until very smooth. Add 1 tsp (5 mL) grated orange zest to batter. Cover and let stand for 30 min or refrigerate for up to 1 day. (Bring to room temperature before cooking.) The batter should be the texture of thin cream. Gradually whisk in up to 2 tbsp (30 mL) water to thin as necessary. Heat an 8-inch (20 ml) nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until a drop of batter sizzles when dropped in pan. Wipe out pan and brush lightly with butter. Pour in a scant 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the batter, swirling the pan while pouring to spread as thinly and evenly as possible. Cook for about 30 sec or until top is no longer shiny and bottom is just golden. Use a heatproof rubber spatula to loosen edges and flip crepe over. Cook second side for about 15 sec or just until golden spots start to form. Slide the cooked crepe out onto a parchment paper lined plate. Repeat with remaining crepe batter, heating and buttering pan between each as necessary. Filling: Using a small serrated knife, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Holding over a bowl to catch juices, break oranges into segments. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine sugar and orange segments and juice; cook, stirring gently, for 5 to 10 min or until warmed and juices are released. Place 1 crepe on each of 4 to 6 serving plates; spoon a heaping tablespoon of the oranges on one-quarter and sprinkle with chocolate. Fold crepe into quarters to enclose filling; repeat with another crepe and filling on each plate. Spoon remaining oranges on top and sprinkle with chocolate. Serve immediately. (There will be a few extra crepes.)

I'm not sure if I posted this before or not. It sounds like it would be good for a meal in January. Ham or sausage, or even chicken sausage can be used. She used a 3.5 quart slow cooker, but this recipe freezes well, so it can be doubled and used in a larger pot. Louisiana-Style Red Beans and Rice (Kalyn's Kitchen) 1 large onion, diced small 2-3 tsp olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tbsp creole seasoning 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. dried oregano salt and black pepper to taste --salt isn't necessary because of the Creole seasoning 4 cups cooked small red beans (or use 3 cans red beans, rinsed and drained and add 1/2 cup more chicken stock) 3 cups diced lean ham or Louisiana Hot Sausages (dice into pieces about the size of the cooked beans) 3 cups homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth 1 T Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. green Tabasco (or use a smaller amount of red Tobasco) 2-3 bay leaves 1 tsp. red wine vinegar 3 cups cooked white or brown rice for serving If using dried beans, soak overnight and cook on stove until they are fairly soft, or cook in pressure cooker about 25 minutes. Drain beans. If using canned beans, rinse with cold water until no more foam appears, then drain. You can also cook them in the slow cooker the day before. Cut ham or sausage into small pieces, about the size of cooked beans. Heat olive oil in a heavy frying pan, then saute diced onion about 5 minutes, or until onion starts to brown. Add garlic and saute 1 minute, then add Creole Seasoning, dried thyme, and dried oregano and saute 1-2 minutes more. Put onion mixture into small crockpot. Add cooked beans and diced ham or sausage. Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, bay leaves, and red wine vinegar, and stir to combine. Cook on high for 4-8 hours, until the beans are dissolved as much as you prefer. I like this best when the beans are at least 3/4 broken apart and dissolved into the liquid. Canned beans are usually softer and will break apart more quickly. An immersion blender works great to thicken the beans. Serve hot, topped with white rice. In New Orleans this is usually served in a bowl filled about 2/3 full of the soupy bean mixture, then topped with a scoop of rice.

I made these this morning, and it's a keeper! I didn't make the walnuts, and used Ida reds, as they are what I have on hand. French Toast and Apples (closetcooking blog) 2 granny smith apples (peeled,cored and sliced) 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup water 2 eggs 1/4 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 4 slices bread butter 1/4 cup candied walnuts 1. Simmer the apples, butter, sugar, flour cinnamon and water until the apples are tender, about 10-15 minutes and set aside. 2. Mix the eggs, milk and vanilla in a wide dish. 3. Dip the bread into the egg mixture to coat on both sides. 4. Melt some butter in a pan and fry the slices of bread until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. 5. Serve the french toast covered in the caramelized apples along with some candied walnuts. Candied Walnuts 1 1/2 cups walnut halves 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (optional) 1. Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. 2. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until nice and toasted, about 5 minutes, and set aside. (Watch them carefully.) 3. Melt the sugar in a sauce pan and wait for it to turn a nice shade of amber. 4. Add the walnuts and mix to coat. 5. Pour the walnuts onto a sheet of parchment paper, quickly separate them, sprinkle them with the salt and let them cool.
