12 Breakfast Casseroles

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole With Ruby Grapefruit On The Side: Sometimes it is nice to have a delicious breakfast, that you can prepare the night before, that will feed a number of people. All you have to do is pop it in the oven and you have a great breakfast, in a short amount of time. I made this breakfast casserole for a weekend breakfast and it was so, so easy to put together. Recipe from Meet Me In The Kitchen.
2. Sausage Hashbrown Casserole: My nephew is a picky, picky, PICKY eater. But he LOVES the casserole I’m going to share with you today. It’s a recipe my Aunt Ann, my mom’s baby sister shared with me several years ago. I’ve tweaked it and made it my own over the years. And it’s something that our “new” Christmas breakfast wouldn’t be complete without. Recipe found at What’s Cookin Good Lookin.
3. Breakfast Casserole: Recipe found at Bon Appetit.
4. Wake-Up Casserole: This recipe is one that I have been making for Christmas morning for many years. I make it up the night before and pop it into the oven in the morning. Delicious and very easy!!! Recipe from I’m An Organizing Junkie.
5. Breakfast Strata with Greens, Gruyere, and Sausage: Imagine it: Christmas morning, carols are playing on the stereo; you’ve already gone through a few cups of coffee as you and your loved ones have opened your gifts. Maybe the outside trees are blanketed in snow (thanks to a recent well-timed pre-Christmas snowstorm!) Everyone is feeling joyful, relaxed, and a little bit sugared up from the candy and chocolates that were found tucked into stockings. It’s starting to feel like breakfast time, and – lucky you – you’ve already planned ahead. You assembled this strata the night before, and now all that you need to do Christmas morning is bake it! Recipe found at Eggs on Sunday.
6. Recipe Favorites: Mushroom and Feta Breakfast Casserole: Whether you’re having guests for breakfast or just looking for make-ahead breakfast options for the South Beach Diet, breakfast casseroles like this are great. This will keep for at least a week in the fridge, and it’s easy to pop it in the microwave for a quick breakfast. (You can freeze it, but the eggs get a bit watery.) The possible combinations that will work in a breakfast casserole like this are endless, so check after the recipe for some other variations I’ve enjoyed. Recipe found at Kalyn’s Kitchen.
7. Breakfast Casserole: The most wonderful thing about this casserole is that you can pretty much do anything to it that you’d like as long as you stick to the basic amounts called for. If you would prefer sausage instead of ham… go for it. The same goes with the vegetables and cheese. I’ve made this in countless varieties and they’ve always been really good. Use your imagination and your families favorites to make this recipe your own. Recipe found at Adventures of Kitchen Girl.
8. Christmas Breakfast Casserole: After church services on Christmas morning, our family enjoys this easy, make-head casserole. I’d also recommend it for a special breakfast or brunch any time of the year. Recipe found at Taste Of Home.
9. Maple Sausage And Waffle Breakfast Casserole: Warning! This dish was very popular. You might need to double it and cook it in a 9 X 13 inch pan, to avoid fights. Recipe found at What Did You Eat?
10. Holiday Breakfast Strata: This is the perfect way to make your holiday breakfast a deliciously stress-free experience. You can put this strata together ahead of time, tuck it into the refrigerator, and pop it in the oven Christmas morning before you get the coffee started. For many families, this is a treat they look forward to every year. Recipe from King Arthur Flour.
11. Mexican Breakfast Casserole: Heres a breakfast dish you can get done the night before. It seems like alot of ingredient and let me tell you, it is. But it really is quite easy. Recipe from Megan’s Cooking.
12. The Wife Saver: The casserole is hearty but not overly heavy. It has almost a quiche-like texture, combined with salty ham, sharp cheddar cheese and a crunchy cereal topping (the Special-K topping threw me a bit as well, but it was awesome!). Really delicious. Especially when it’s paired with a nice fruit salad and croissants, like we did. Recipe found at Culinary Wannabe.
