Breakfast casserole and Monkey bread recipes

[Tink-n-MrIncredible]

Last Christmas there were threads with Christmas morning breakfast casseroles and Monkey bread on the dis boards. I can't find what I did with my recipes. Anyone have the breakfast casserole recipe with sausage, egg and hashbrowns? How about the Monkey bread with biscuits and butterscotch pudding? These two items were a hit on Christmas morning.

Thanks for any and all replies.

I use the Pioneer woman's recipe for Monkey Bread. Only thing I do different is half the melted butter that get's poured over because I find it came out a bit greasy with the original amount.

Tradition here is Paula Dean's Breakfast Casserole. I make it with Challah bread, and I only use half the praline topping. Delish!

google sure brings up a lot of threads!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2354596 was the latest -

From 2007 there was only these recipes -

I have a couple that I would gladly share with you...
Farmer's Casserole
3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup diced fully cooked ham--I find it in the meat section
4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk
salt and pepper
Place potatoes in greased 8" square pan
Sprinkle with cheese, ham
Beat eggs, milk and salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over items already in pan
Cover and refrigerate over night
Remove from refrig. 30 minutes before baking
Bake uncovered at 350 for 55-60 minutes until knife comes out clean.
I have baked this the day before and just warmed it before serving..It doesn't loose anything in the taste
Also, French toast casserole
this is another favorite
1 loaf of 12oz french bread
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups half and half
2 teas. vanilla
1/2 teasp. nutmeg
1-2 teasp of cinnamon
1/2 teasp mace
Heavely butter 9x13 pan
Fill pan with sliced bread--I cut it any old way These will fill the pan
Mix- eggs, milk, half and half, vanilla and spices
Pour over bread. Refrigerate over night
Topping: 3/4 cup soft butter
1 1/2 c.brown sugar
3 tablesp. dark corn syrup
chopped nuts if desired
Blend these ingredients together and set aside until morning
The next morning take out and drop the topping on top of egg and bread mixture. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes..This will puff up and get golden brown.
If you put the topping on the mixture before you put it in the frig overnight, don't worry about it, I have done it many times It is so easy and it is delicious!!!

1 roll bulk sausage (I use pork sausage)
1/2 tsp of italian seasoning
4 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 roll of refrigerator croissant rolls

Brown sausage in frying pan until cooked through and drain fat
Add italian seasoning as meat is browning

Once sausage is cooked, add cream cheese into sausage mixing as it melts
Blend in cheddar cheese to complete "filling"

Meanwhile, lay croissant roll triangles out in the shape of a rectangle and press seams together. Roll out into a larger rectangle using a rolling pin (or I just use a round drinking glass). On each long side of the triangle, cut the dough into 1 inch wide strips leaving about 3-4 inches uncut in center of rectangle.

Spread filling in the middle of the rectangle and fold the strips over alternating to look like a braid.

Brush with egg and bake according to the croissant roll heating directions (usually 350 degrees for 15 minutes).

My family likes this so much that I make two! I'm making the filling the night before this year.

Sausage and Egg Casserole
This has been our Christmas breakfast tradition for 20+ years.

6 eggs 1 lb. cooked, drained, cooled sausage
1c. milk 1c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
1c. half & half 6 slices day old bread, crust removed,
2 tsp. dry mustard buttered on both sides

Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with Pam and then line with bread. Layer on sausage and then cheese. Beat together other ingredients and pour over bread, sausage, and cheese. Refrigerate over night. Bake uncovered in preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Serves 6-8 people (or me for about three mornings).


Baked French Toast Casserole Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
Butter, for pan
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
Praline Topping, recipe follows

Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch thick each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 45 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with Raspberry Syrup.


Praline Topping:
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Spread over bread as directed above.

Monkey Bread
We make this every Thanksgiving morning and eat it while watching the parade. It is delicious (and terrible for you).

4 cans of pillsbury biscuits
2 cups sugar, divided
2 sticks of butter
3 heaping tablespoons of cinnamon
raisins or nuts (optional)
Angel food pan


Preheat oven to 350. Put angel food pan on a cookie sheet with sides in case of leakage. Cut 2 cans of biscuits into quarters. In a large storage bag mix 1 cup sugar and cinnamon. Take a few biscuit quarter and throw them into the bag - shake to coat - put coated biscuits into angel food pan. Repeat until you are finished with 2 cans. Sprinkle in raisins or nuts if desired. Put butter and 1 cup sugar in a microwave safe container. Heat until melted and continue to heat and stir until thickened. Pour half of the butter/sugar mixture over the biscuits. Cut other cans of biscuits and repeat prior directions - pour remaining butter sugar over the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes - until top is browned. Take out of oven and turn over onto serving platter.

what goes around, comes around!

If you don't have a bundt pan for the monkey bread (like me) I used an foil center lightly oiled in a 9x13 and it worked great

(You can make this right before baking but I usually make it the night before so all I have to do in the morning is pop it in the oven.)

Since one of my boys doesn't like eggs, I also make a French toast casserole.

Here's one straight from Disney...it's the Main Street French Toast Loaf!
French Toast Loaf

(Courtesy of Scott)
YIELD: 1 Loaf

Ingredients:

12 slices day-old white bread (preferably a homestyle white, not Wonder Bread
type)

8 oz. butter (chilled and sliced)

Brown sugar batch:

9 oz, light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and set aside.

Batter:

10 oz. heavy cream
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and refrigerate until ready to use.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Method:

Liberally spray a loaf pan with Pam or other vegetable spray. Layer three slices day old bread on bottom of pan. Sprinkle 1/3 brown sugar mixture on top of bread, then layer 1/3 of the butter. Repeat these steps two more times. Top off with three more slices of bread (should have a total of 12 slices of bread). Press down with hand to compact bread into loaf pan.

Slowly pour 16 oz. of batter over top of loaf, covering completely. This may take a little time, to allow it to fully absorb into bread and flow into spaces at bottom. (Take
your time here and pour into corners. Lift bread at corners a little to get into bottom quicker if you want.)


Place loaf pan on some paper towel in case of overflow. Cover top of loaf with parchment paper and wrap top tightly with aluminum foil. Place in refrigerator and allow to sit overnight.

Heat oven to 325º F. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until internal temperature in center of loaf is 160 degrees. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Place a plate on top of loaf pan and invert to remove from pan. Cut into 7 slices and serve.

Mix all ingredients together (except margarine) in a large bowl. Pour into greased 13x9-inch casserole.

Dot the margarine on top of the casserole.

Bake at 375º for 1½ to 2 hours – until golden brown on top and hash browns are tender.

This is an incredible recipe...it was the one I was going to post. The one thing that I didn't see...you can make it the night before so you won't have any work on Christmas morning. It is perfect to just get up and pop it in the oven.

I make Cinnamon Pull a-parts.

I have a bread machine and make up some white dough. Then I melt butter when the dough is done. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl. Spray oil in a loaf pan. I take small bits of the dough and form balls and dip each in the butter and then roll in the cinnamon mixture. I leave a bit of room as the dough does expand a bit. Don't fill to the top of the pan as it will go over the edge when you bake. I fill two pans with my bread dough.

You can store in the fridge and cook the next morning or cook and then re-heat in the morning. I add some canned icning to put on the pull a-parts when warm.

My very favorite breakfast casserole is berry French toast using challah ~ http://nancysrecipes.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/my-eb-pink-party-berry-french-toast-and-a-giveaway/ (Scroll down a bit for the pictures and recipe)

This is the recipe I use for monkey bread ~ http://nancysrecipes.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/monkey-bread/

And if you don't want to make the whole bread, you can make monkey bread muffins ~ http://nancysrecipes.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/monkey-bread-muffins/

This is pretty much how we make Monkey Bread. My mom has been making it for at least 30 years now but we always called it Bubble Bread. I don't like the recipe with the Pillsbury dough...I think they are way too heavy.

I usually buy premade loaves in the freezer section of the grocery store rather than making my own dough. Two loaves work great. Allow them to defrost and rise over night.

Then I use a greased bundt pan and rip off small chunks and roll in melted butter then a cinnamon/sugar mixture. I usually get 3 layers around. I always let it rise another hour or two before baking. The key is to pour a little extra melted butter over the top and sprinkle with some extra sugar mixture before putting in the oven (325 for 45 minutes or so). Sometimes I put walnuts or pecans in the pan first for the topping. Then you just pull off a ball or two at a time....NO CUTTING. That always drives me nuts

I use the Pioneer woman's recipe for Monkey Bread. Only thing I do different is half the melted butter that get's poured over because I find it came out a bit greasy with the original amount.

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/05/monkey-bread/

Do I have to use a bundt pan? Or will a round pyrex type dish be ok?

1/2 lb bacon, fried til crisp and broken into bits
1/2 tsp dry mustard

Butter bottom of pan. Butter both sides of bread and cover bottom of 9x13 pan, cutting bread as needed. Sprinkle shredded cheddar over bread. Sprinkle
crumbled bacon over cheese. Mix egg, milk, salt and mustard and pour over bacon. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake take out of fridge and let sit out for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until knive inserted in center comes out clean.

Mommy2- I use a bundt pan but I'm sure you could use something round. The bundt really only gets you more crunchy pieces bc it has more contact with the pan.

Wow, this thread is great! Thanks for all the effort put into posting these delicious sounding recipes. I can't wait to try a Christmas morning casserole.

I have a lazy persons monkey bread recipe:

one tube of Pillsbury biscuits, the layer ones (but any may work)
Break the biscuit log into 1" pieces and roll them into balls
put balls into a large ziploc with about 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cinnamon
shake the sealed ziploc until the balls are covered with the mixture of sugar/cinnamon
place balls into PAM-sprayed bundt pan and pour 1/2 stick melted butter on top
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until browned

That recipe is very similar to the Wife Saver one my mom does for Christmas morning. The only difference I notice is that her's has ham (no bacon) and it's topped with corn/special K cereal. I don't have the recipe to compare the exact amounts.

I won't eat it. That's why I started making Cinnamon Pull a-parts so I had something yummy to eat in the morning.
