Breakfast casseroles

[lovemygoofy]

I need two good receipes for breakfast casseroles. One receipe that is sweet and one that isn't if anyone has some they would like to share please.

My family is having a brunch next weekend in honor of Matt and to celebrate an early Thanksgiving because we won't all be together this year. I also plan to make the same things the following weekend to send the inlaws off. Any sharing would be very appreciated.

I found this one on allrecipes.com last year and have made it several times since then. It is very easy to make and was a hit with my family. I had gastric bypass several years ago, and usually don't eat sausage anymore (my tastes changed), but even I loved it.
I especially like using the mozzarella instead of the standard cheddar cheese.
Have fun finding recipes!

1 pound bulk Sausage l
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Crumble and cook sausage in medium skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain.
Line bottom of greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish with crescent roll dough, firmly pressing perforations to seal. Sprinkle with sausage and cheese. Combine remaining ingredients in medium bowl until blended; pour over sausage.
Bake 15 minutes or until set. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into squares; serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers.

This is the one DH makes for Christmas morning every year. You make it the night before you need it and refrigerate it overnight.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted margarine
2 cups milk
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 cups broken up bread
3 eggs
1 tsp ground mustard
1 lb sausage (fry and drain well)

Grease 9x13 pan.

Fry sausage, drain well. Beat eggs, milk and mustard in a bowl. Put the broken pieces of bread in the greased pan. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, top with sausage and put the cheese on top of that. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered at 350 for approximately 1 hour.

Hope this helps!

You have given me such a good idea! I was thinking of having an open house the week before Christmas, inviting the people from our churches. I wasn't sure what to do though because I wanted to have it on a Saturday but DH works at 4 p.m. on Saturdays. So I thought maybe afternoon tea or something like that. But a Christmas brunch might just work out great. That way I could serve mimosas and it would mean that a lot of stuff could be made ahead of time....baked goods, casseroles, etc.

Thanks OP! I'll keep my eye on this thread.

Pecan French Toast is a huge hit at our house.

"Holiday Morning French Toast" is a huge hit with my friends and family. (One of my friends even got the recipe from me so she could serve it at my baby shower! ) You make it the night before, then bake it in the morning. Very easy - even people who say they aren't good cooks have made this successfully.

Holiday Morning French Toast

Make this up the night before, and then bake it in the morning.

PREP TIME 20 Min
COOK TIME 45 Min

Original recipe yield: 12 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 3 tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored and thinly sliced or 1 can apple pie filling (reduce sugar if using pie filling)
• 1/2 cup dried or fresh cranberries or raisins
• 1 loaf Italian or French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

• Combine brown sugar, butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Add apples and cranberries; toss to coat well. Spread apple mixture evenly over bottom of baking dish. Arrange slices of bread on top.
• Mix eggs, milk, vanilla and remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon until well blended. Pour mixture over bread, soaking bread completely. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.
• Bake, covered with aluminum foil, in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Serve warm. For an eye-catching presentation, loosen edges of baking dish and invert onto a large serving platter.

MY NOTES
§ I think it tastes best with less sugar, personally. I usually cut the sugar to ½ to 2/3 cup if I’m using fresh apples. If I use the apple pie filling, I cut the sugar to 1/3 to ½ cup.
§ I don’t think it’s necessary to peel the apples.
§ I like the tartness of fresh cranberries, but many people prefer to leave the cranberries or raisins out altogether. The recipe still works without them, so it doesn’t make a difference.
§ DH likes this best with sourdough bread; I like it with French bread. Texas Toast, Brioche, Hawaiian, or just about any other sweeter bread also works.
§ A little dash of cloves, ginger, and/or nutmeg can add an interesting spice to the French toast.
§ Serve with syrup of any flavor (I think real maple syrup brings out more flavor here than artificial) or apple sauce (DH’s favorite topping for this).
§ A light dusting of powdered sugar over the top of the baked dish looks pretty.

These sound great! There is another thread on the "Disney for Families" board that has more! Sorry - I have no idea how to link it but it's titled "Christmas Breakfast Casseroles"

This is my husband's absolute favorite in the sweet breakfast casserole category:

Baked Blueberry French Toast
1 (24 oz) loaf sourdough bread crusts removed, cut in cubes (I normally use ¾ of the loaf)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed
1 pint blueberries, rinsed and drained (I have used frozen when I can’t get fresh)
1 tbl sugar
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Confectioner’s sugar (to sprinkle on top)
Blueberry Syrup (recipe to follow)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Place half of bread in greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Top with cream cheese. Place blueberries over cream cheese. Sprinkle sugar on top of blueberries. Top with remaining bread cubes.

Combine eggs, milk and cinnamon in a small bowl, mixing well. Pour over bread.

At this point, you can cover the dish and place in the refrigerator overnight if you want. Otherwise, bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until puffed and set. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and serve with Blueberry Syrup.

Blueberry Syrup
1 cup sugar
2 tbl. Cornstarch
1 cup water
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbl butter

Heat sugar, cornstarch and water in small saucepan over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Cook 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in blueberries gently, simmering 10 minutes or until berries have burst. Stir frequently. Add butter, stirring gently until melted.

Pop Daddy, you are so funny, yet so right.
My DH ALWAYS wants 2 eggs OE, three bacon strips, one piece of toast with a glass of milk. I love all the fancy stuff, belgain waffles, flavored pancakes, huevos rancheros, eggs benedict...anything different. All the casseroles here sound wonderful to me.:

My old roommate (at Disney oddly enough!) had a tradition in her family so on Christmas morning during our college program, she made a breakfast casserole. I've forgotten the exact recipe since over the years I've just eyeballed it. It's one of those recipes that's pretty easy to throw together.

Brown a roll of sausage (I prefer the Bob Evans hot - gives it a little extra kick) so that it crumbles.

While that's browning, take about a half a dozen slices of bread. I tear the crusts off so I don't get thick spots in the casserole, but you can leave them on. Just shred them into small pieces (maybe an inch or so wide and tall?) and toss them somewhat evenly on the bottom of a casserole dish. I use a 9X13, but any shape or size will do. . . just may have to adjust amounts of stuff you put in.

I use about 10 large eggs and mix with milk them like I'm making scrambled eggs. At the end, I toss in about a teaspoon of dried mustard and mix the powder in.

When the sausage is done, I layer it over the bread in the dish. I layer a couple big handfulls of shredded cheddar cheese over that. Then layer the egg mixture over all of that. It should cover everything without making a huge pool. Sometimes I have to take a fork and move some bread around to make sure it all gets coated with egg. Then I take another couple handfuls of cheese and sprinkle over the top. Cover that with foil and leave in the fridge overnight (or a couple of hours - it's just easier to do it the night before) When you wake up in the morning, toss it in the oven for abo 45 minutes to an hour. The bread just helps the egg thicken up to hold everything else, but you have a yummy breakfast! Big mouthfulls of sausage, egg and cheese!

I like him, does he cut his sleeves off too

I'm bumping this for Easter. Do you think I can use Texas Toast bread instead of French for the French Toast recipes.

Yummy! These sound awesome!
