I got this recipe back in the 70's from a co-worker. I have been making it ever since. Makes the perfect casual brunch entree for a crowd. Serve it with fresh fruit and your all set! I use a large aluminum foil baking pan. Make the night before or a minimum 4 hours ahead. Be sure to take out of the fridge an hour before baking.
