Other favorite make-ahead casseroles for Christmas morning include French Toast Casserole, Sausage Breakfast Casserole, or Breakfast Strata.
Why We Love It!
Christmas morning is filled with activity and fun, so who wants to step away from the magic to make breakfast? That is why I LOVE whipping up a tasty breakfast casserole the night before. Here’s why we especially love this casserole for Christmas:
Made ahead. I can prep the night before and on Christmas morning, I simply pop it in the oven and return to the fun! Flavorful, Filling + Customizable. It has savory sausage, filling bread, and creamy eggs (and easy to change up the meat, veggies and cheeses). Flexible. Though handy, it does not need to be made the night before, as long as you do give it some time to chill.
It would be a perfect compliment to our French Toast Casserole for both a sweet and savory option.
Ingredients
ground pork sausage – or maple sausage or cubed ham salt eggs half and half – or use 1 cup of whole milk white bread – toasted and cut into cubes (or use challah, French Bread, brioche, or Texas toast) sharp cheddar cheese – You can also use Swiss, mozzarella, or colby jack.
Prep for the Morning
storing Info
FREEZE. To prepare your easy Christmas breakfast further in advance than overnight, cover the dish with plastic wrap and again with foil. Label and freeze for 1-2 months. Thaw in the fridge before removing the wrappings and baking. Store leftovers. Divide into individual-sized storage containers. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Thaw, if applicable, and reheat in the microwave or oven.
