Who has a recipe for a good breakfast casserole -- oven-baked?

Question

I want one that is primarily eggs -- but also has bacon and/or sausage in it? (Ideally - a recipe that I could do 2 ways -- one casserole done with bacon and one casserole done with sausage. Large enough to fit in a good-sized casserole dish and will feed a group of people for breakfast/brunch.)

Answer 1

Bacon and Egg Casserole

This easy breakfast casserole recipe is prepared the night before.

INGREDIENTS:
4 slices white bread, crusts removed
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

PREPARATION:
Place bread in a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Combine eggs, milk, dry mustard, and dried minced onion; pour over bread. Sprinkle bacon over casserole; cover and refrigerate 8 hours. Remove from refrigerator; let casserole stand 30 minutes. Bake, covered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese, and bake an additional 5 minutes. Let breakfast casserole stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Sausage Casserole Recipe

This is so easy to put together. Sometimes I halve the ingredients and use an 8x8 dish. It can be made the night before and popped into the oven the next morning. (I let it sit out 30 minutes before baking).

6 slices bread
2 lbs bulk sausage
1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
16 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese
6 eggs
2 cups light cream or milk


Tear bread into small pieces and put into lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Cook and crumble sausage.
Drain sausage and place over bread.
Layer mushrooms and then grated cheese evenly over sausage.
Beat eggs,add light cream and mix well.
Pour egg mixture over casserole.
Bake uncovered at 350* for 30 to 45 minutes.

Answer 5

Eggs Benedict

12 slices ham
12 slices swiss cheese
12 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
12 servings

1. Fold ham slices in half; set side by side in a 9x13 pan.
2. Fold swiss slices in half, layering on top of the ham to form a"nest".
3. Break eggs over the swiss.
4. I usually break the yoke after it's in the pan so there's not a large clump of yoke.
5. Pour cream over the eggs.
6. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
7. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes at 375 or until eggs reach desired doneness.
8. Let stand for 5 minutes.
9. Is usually served with English muffins but we're watching our carbs!
