A brunchy casserole is a holiday tradition with warm cider while gifts are shared. My kids insist that this is what a hobbit has for second breakfast as it can cook while the first breakfast is digesting. My son is allergic to the rind from the Brie, so I freeze it and remove the rind (not emergency-room allergic, but unpleasant symptom allergic). Brie happens to be my husband’s favorite cheese so this lets us enjoy it without complications.
