    Oh how I wish I had a Monte Cristo biscuit this morning! I love how you weaved your witchy kitchen magic for an easy creation of them in a casserole/oven version, no cauldron required! My sister is coming for a visit next weekend and I’m trying decide what’s on the menu. I’m putting this on my list, thanks Jenna 🙂

  2. Lynn says:

    Looks like you’re all set for Halloween Jenna! Have fun with the kids:@)

  3. Jenna! This sounds and looks delicious! This would be a great breakfast for weekends when the whole family is here and wandering into the kitchen looking for food! I love the oven idea! Yum! Linda

    What a great recipe for serving up breakfast (or any meal) Halloween weekend, I know my family would love it. Love all the vignettes.
    Happy weekend……….

    Jenna, this is swoon worthy! Definitely going to be making them. I had to laugh when you said you resisted these plates from Home Goods – I should have! Need to have a plate give away and get rid of some of the old ones. I wanted more so I could serve them to the kids but got 12 large and 8 small and that will do for now!

  8. Jenna, a sweet and savory biscuit…bliss! Happy Saturday!
