Christmas Morning Breakfast – With a Healthy Dose of Pemberton!

Christmas morning is not an oatmeal morning. You want to have something special and festive on the table. This is a very useful recipe as the dish looks impressive but is actually very easy to execute.

This dish will make use of “all the Pemberton blueberries you froze” this past summer! If you have one, use an enameled cast iron fry pan as some of the lower-quality cast iron pans leave a metallic aftertaste. Happy Christmas!
