Christmas Bark
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 sleeve saltine crackers
2 cups chocolate chips
Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil - minutes. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Butter well. Line cookie sheet with saltine crackers (1 sleeve will do). Pour mixture over crackers. Smooth evenly. Bake in oven at 325 degrees for 5 minutes. When you take it out, let stand for a minute or so. If any crackers have moved, just push down with spoon. Then sprinkle 2 cups of chocolate chips. Let sit for a about a minute and then spread till smooth. Put in fridge to cool for about an hour or so. Break up into pieces.
On Saturday morning I tried a few new recipes for our Christmas brunch. A bit of a risk but I liked the idea of making it ahead of time and I just needed to put it in the oven the next morning. What made this tricky was have three casseroles that needed the oven so getting the food out in a timely manner was hard. But the favourite of the three casseroles was the eggs benedict one. My mom makes it for us for special occasions so I needed to try this one and it was a hit. I will definitely be making this one for Christmas morning. Easy and delicious!
Eggs Benedict Casserole (Taste of Home)
12 oz Canadian Bacon or Black Forest Ham
6 English muffins, split and cut into 1 inch pieces
8 eggs
2 cups milk (2%)
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Hollandaise Sauce:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/3 cup butter, melted
You can make from scratch but the best hollandaise sauce is from McCormick. Yes it's a package but is the best after trying different ones.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake, covered for 35 minutes. Uncover, bake 10-15 minutes longer or until knife inserted near centre comes out clean. (Personal note: Once it sat for 5 minutes uncovered it firmed up).
3. Make hollandaise sauce and pour over casserole or put on side.
12 servings.
