This recipe comes from a friend and co-worker, Sheri O’Neal. It is a dessert for breakfast and is so delicious. Sheri made it for a breakfast staff meeting. I believe we voted to have more of those types of meetings.

Note: I omit the sauce and exchange fresh blueberries for a can of blueberries or mixed berries to go right on top of the casserole. It provides the sweetness, and the sauce bakes into the casserole.
enjoy
