Currently Cooking: Breakfast Edition
/
If there is one meal that speaks into my heart the most, it is breakfast. In fact, 9 times out of 10 I will make a breakfast taco for lunch over making a sandwich. And going to bed knowing there is a breakfast cassorole just waiting to be popped in the oven the next morning…excitement at another level. Especially on a holiday. And since those are coming up I thought I would share some of my go-to recipes when it comes to breakfast. Y’all went crazy over my last Currently Cooking post!
Now these dishes are great for holiday morning breakfast but they are also great if you are hosting a brunch or just want to change up your weekly routine. All can be put together or cooked the night before and still hold well for the morning.
Number One: Bagel Casserole from Living with Landyn
This is the one I usually pull out for Christmas morning. I found it a couple years ago and it has been a hit every time I make it. I mean what is not to love about bagels covered in cheese?! For this dish I get everything prepped the night before. So all the bacon cooked, the bagels pulled apart, anything that needs chopping - its all done before I go to bed. Then the next morning I put it all together and cook it.
Number Two: Breakfast Casserole from Skinny Taste
I made this one for Lampley’s dedication brunch this past weekend and it was well received by all who enjoyed it. Including Lampley. When I first looked at the recipe and saw it needed 24 eggs I was a little overwhelmed. But I pushed through, had to recount several times to make sure I had cracked enough eggs into the mixer. I know the struggle right. And 24 eggs cooked in this deep dish pan was amazing. This is a recipe that I cooked completely the night before.. I then let it cool, stuck it in the refrigerator and reheated it in the oven the next morning. It took a while to reheat it enough to where everything was warm all the way through. I also subbed feta for cheddar cheese. This is one of those casseroles where you can really add to it and make it whatever you want - just keep the base the same.
Number Three: Berry and Cream Cheese Croissant French Toast from Half Baked Harvest
Y’all. This one. It is so good I don’t know if I will serve it just on holidays. It was also the easiest one to make. I put it all together the night before and cooked it in the morning. Another crowd pleaser and was so good. It also wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. Just the right amount.
Number Four: Monkey Bread Muffins from Brooklyn Farm Girl
When Adam and I got married I started making these for us to snack on Christmas morning. I make these completely the night before and pop them in the microwave the next morning when I am ready to eat them. They are very sweet and pair nicely with a glass of OJ and a splash of champagne. They also travel well and are great to bring if you are visiting family.
Now that I have shared some of my favorites I would love to hear some of yours. Drop a link below to your favorite breakfast recipe or just tell me what you serve on holiday mornings. And if you make any of these I would love to know! It always brings me great joy to pass on a recipe that my family loves to yours.
