Start your day with a warm and hearty dish that tastes, in equal parts, bread, eggy, cheesy, and a bit creamy. Overnight Breakfast Casserole is made with dry bread, eggs, and sausage, then topped with cheese. It is hearty and filling. With minimum preparation, this easy casserole is a savior on busy mornings. Do all the prep the night before, refrigerate, and pop it into the oven the next morning. This warm, savory breakfast casserole is perfect to serve on a holiday morning or for brunch on a Sunday. You can adapt the base recipe and play around with it. Add veggies of your choice to make it more wholesome. We don’t mind having this for lunch or dinner, as the leftovers are equally delicious. You may call it a bread casserole (a more generic term) or a savory bread pudding. The stuffing is not layered in between layers of bread chunks as you do in strata, but it makes you taste a bit of bread along with the eggy and cheesy mixture and also with a bit of veggie in each bite.
What to serve with breakfast casserole
This savory breakfast dish can be served as part of the classic breakfast spread with fresh fruits, fruit juices, avocado slices, toast, and sausages. Best had with a cup of hot coffee.
Add veggies like mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, or zucchini. Cook the veggies and drain any extra liquid before adding them to the casserole. I would stick to 2-3 kinds of veggies without overloading the casserole. You can add crispy, cooked bacon to it, as it adds great flavor. If you have leftover cooked ham, substitute it for sausage. Pepperjack and gouda are great alternatives to cheddar cheese.
For some fiery flavor, you can also add a dollop of Mexican salsa.
