BONNIE'S CHRISTMAS MORNING CASSEROLE



BONNIE'S CHRISTMAS MORNING CASSEROLE image

The thing I like the best about this breakfast casserole is that it is made the night before Christmas, and it sits in the fridge and blends all the great flavors together. The next morning, you pop it in the oven, and when the aroma wafts through the house, then you know that Christmas has finally arrived. This is our Christmas...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 slices of cubed bread (i use texas toast bread)
1/2 pound of medium sharp shredded cheese
8 eggs
2 cups of milk
2 cups of ground ham, shrimp, crabmeat, mushrooms or crumbled bacon.
1/2 stick of butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS: Use Pam spray and grease a 9X13 baking dish.
  • 2. Prepare the bread. I use frozen Texas toast bread. (easier to cube frozen, thaw slightly) You can use French bread if Texas toast is not available. Remove the crusts from the bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, and place the cubes in the baking dish.
  • 3. Top with the cheese. Beat the eggs and add to the milk and pour over the bread and cheese. Top with cooked ground ham, cooked sausage, shrimp, crabmeat, mushrooms or crumbled bacon, whatever you desire. (I've tried them all, and they are all yummy!) Pour the melted butter over all. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • 4. CHRISTMAS MORNING: Remove the casserole from the fridge, and heat it up slowly so your cold dish doesn't break. I let mine sit on the counter for about an hour and put it in the oven when I put it on pre-heat. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes to 45, depending on the heat of your oven and the altitude. High altitude may take almost an hour to bake. Check periodically with toothpick. When your casserole is done, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes so when you cut it, it will come out of the dish in a square.
  • 5. Cook's Tip: My original recipe called for a whole stick of butter, but I found that 1/2 stick works just fine for us. This is a good recipe for you to make your own. If you have some favorite ingredients that you would like to see added for Christmas morning, have at it! Enjoy!

CHRISTMAS MORNING CASSEROLE



Christmas Morning Casserole image

With all the layers of yumminess, any family would love to wake up to this breakfast casserole on Christmas morning. We used the frozen shredded potatoes and it was quite delicious. It would be even better with fresh potatoes. The potatoes are a hearty base. The sausage, veggie, and cheese layer makes the casserole special. We...

Categories     Meat Breakfast

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb Bob Evans pork sausage
4 c shredded potatoes
1/4 stick salted butter, melted
3/4 c shredded onion
16 oz cottage cheese
12 oz mild cheddar cheese
9 large eggs
1 c sliced mushrooms
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375.
  • 2. In a large skillet, saute pork sausage, onions and mushrooms. Cook on medium high until sausage is no longer pink. Sausage should be crumbled. Drain and set aside.
  • 3. I shred my own potatoes, but frozen shredded potatoes will work fine also. If shredding your own potatoes, make sure to drain and press out as much moisture as possible.
  • 4. In a 13x9 glass baking dish, add shredded potatoes and 1/4 stick of melted butter, mix potatoes and butter until completely coated. Using a spatula, spread mixture evenly onto bottom of baking dish.
  • 5. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheese, eggs, sausage/mushroom/onion mixture, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Mix well.
  • 6. Once mixed, pour onto prepared shredded potatoes.
  • 7. Bake at 375 degrees, uncovered, for 60 minutes.

Tips:

  • To save time in the morning, prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, simply pop it in the oven and bake it according to the recipe instructions.
  • For a heartier casserole, add some cooked sausage, bacon, or ham. You can also add some chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
  • If you don't have any bread cubes on hand, you can use croutons or cornbread crumbs instead.
  • To make sure the casserole is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

A Christmas morning casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. With a variety of recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that your whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a festive and flavorful breakfast, give one of these casseroles a try.
