[binny]

Someone posted a recipe ( probably at Christmastime) for a make ahead breakfast casserole. I'm in need of one for tomorrow.

Can anyone give me some ideas? thanks!

Here is the link for one on all recipes. I haven't made it myself, but it received good reviews. By the way, I made DH the brownie recipe you posted and he loved them.

Here's one I have for an egg bake.

6 slices bread, cubed
8 - 10 eggs
4 cups milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
(1/4 to 1/2 cup of extra ingredients)
1/2 lb. grated cheddar cheese

1. Put bread cubes in 9 x 13 pan
2. Beat eggs, milk, salt and mustard. Pour over bread cubes.
3. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of any extra ingredients of your choice...
ham, bacon, Italian sausage, broccoli, mushrooms,onion, celery, pimentios, etc...
4. Put cheese over the top and refrigerate over night.
5. Bake at least one hour at 350. The center will become solid and the sides will be begin to pull away from the pan when done.

Yep--this is virtually the same as mine. I don't ever add the 'extras' (mushrooms, onion, etc). I've also skinnied it up a little by using Egg Beaters, Fat Free Half and Half, and half lowfat cheese, and half regular cheese. I've found using all lowfat cheese that it melts very strangely.

It's awesome because you do all the prep the night before, and then just pop it in the oven.

Same thing here. But I add some Baco's sprinkled between the layers sometimes. I also use the Cheddar and Chive or Southwestern Style Egg Beaters. I strongly suggest putting a cookie sheet under it when baking, I've had it "overflow."

Oh, I have a good one. Please forgive my lack of exact amounts, I cook by look not measuring cups.

One large bag of tater tots (dont let this turn you off, they turn into hashbrowns)
1 pack of link sausage cooked and cut in to small peices
2 cans cream soup ( I use chicken and mushroom)
1 cup sour cream (light is ok)
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 large bag shredded cheese

layer the tots in the bottom of a large baking dish (single layer). Top with the sausage peices. Mix the soup and sour cream and spread over the top. Mix eggs and milk and pour over the soup layer.

Bake 350 for about an hour.

It is very good!

It is! The tots turn into hashbrowns. The soup/sausage into a sort of gravy. The eggs hold it together. And, well, everything is better when topped with cheese!

This is my Christmas standby. It's actually a French Toast casserole, and it is yummy!


INGREDIENTS:
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup raisins
1 (1 pound) loaf French baguette, cut into 1 inch slices (any type of bread will do)
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:
1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix in melted butter. Stir in apples and raisins until evenly coated. Pour into prepared pan. Arrange bread slices in an even layer over apples.
2. In the bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Pour over bread, making sure every slice is fully soaked. Cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerated overnight.
