If you’re hosting overnight guests, feeding a big family, or serving a crowd for Easter brunch, having a breakfast casserole ready to go is the best way to make your morning even tastier and a lot less chaotic. Think about it: Breakfast casseroles are easy to make ahead (some can even be prepped the night before!) and they’re made in a baking dish, so there's enough to go around.
If breakfast wasn't already your favorite meal of the day, it sure will be now! You can choose from sweet or savory breakfast casseroles depending on your family's preferences. But you know, making one of each isn't a bad idea either. 😂 For instance, you can make the cinnamon roll casserole and pair it with one of the many creative egg recipes ahead like breakfast enchiladas. You'll also find brunch-staple-inspired recipes like everything bagel casserole or biscuits and sausage gravy—in casserole form!
Plus, with options like Ree Drummond's baked French toast casserole, spinach artichoke strata, and white chocolate croissant bread pudding, you're sure to start your morning off on the right foot. All you have to do is scoop them out, which makes serving a crowd super easy. But no matter which breakfast casserole recipe you choose, these ideas will get everyone in the family up and at 'em. All you'll need to do is serve up a round of brunch cocktails!
