Best 3 Ya Gotta Try It Breakfast Casserole Recipes

PANTRY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook sausage, onion, and red bell pepper in a skillet on the stovetop over med/med-high heat until the sausage is browned and veggies are cooked. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• In another skillet, cook hash brown (shredded potatoes) as listed on the package. If you are using fresh potatoes that you have shredded, add 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil to the hot skillet and add potatoes. Spread out potatoes so that they cover the bottom of the skillet. Let them cook until crispy then flip over and crisp up the other side. Remove from heat.
• In a medium bowl, crack the 8 eggs into the bowl. Add the cream or milk and a little salt and pepper. Beat with a fork until light and fluffy.
• Spray a 9"x13" baking pan with non-stick butter-flavored cooking spray. Spread cooked hash brown potatoes over the bottom of the baking dish.
• Next, add the sausage and veggies over the top of the potatoes.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over the sausage and veggies.
• Pour the egg mixture over the top of the casserole.
• Then add the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top of the casserole.
• Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes until knife inserted comes out clean (casserole will look "set" and edges will be slightly browned and pulling away from edges of baking pan/dish).
• Let casserole stand for 5-10 minutes. Then cut into 9 pieces. I served this with fresh sliced summer tomatoes.

Steps:

• Brown the sausage, set aside to cool (or put in fridge while prepping).
• Mix all other ingredients together (use a large bowl).
• Add cooled sausage (hot sausage makes the eggs weird).

• At this point, you may bake, refrigerate or freeze. If frozen, remove from freezer the night before serving.
• Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
• If it seems to be getting too brown, cover lightly with foil last 10 minutes or so.

BUTTERY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500 degrees. Spread croissants on a large baking sheet and toast, cut side up, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes (watch carefully to see that they do not burn). Let cool, then tear into large bite-size pieces.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add sliced scallions and sausage meat; cook, breaking up meat with a fork, until mixture is well browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in sage, and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, toss together croissants and sausage mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, 1 1/2 cups cheese, salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Turn croissant mixture into pan, spreading it out evenly over the bottom. Pour custard into pan, pressing croissants down gently to help absorb the liquid. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• When you're ready to bake the casserole, heat oven to 350 degrees. Scatter the remaining grated cheese over the top of the casserole. Transfer to oven and bake until casserole is golden brown and firm to the touch, 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallion tops before serving.
