    Why This Recipe Works

    Christmas Breakfast Casserole is a great solution for simplifying meals in December or any time of the year. Not just for me and my family, but for YOU and yours! Prep it the night before, when guests are staying over or on Christmas Eve for an easy, no-fuss Christmas-morning breakfast or brunch.

    If you find yourself with leftovers, it tastes great as a reheated meal. Do not let the title “Christmas Breakfast Casserole” limit you! It is great enjoyed any time of the year and even acts as a delicious and filling dinner option.

    How To Make Christmas Morning Casserole

    Step 1

    Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until veggies are soft and fragrant. Remove from heat.

    Step 2

    Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, veggie mixture, bacon, ham and cheddar cheese and stir until combined. Add the bread pieces to the prepared pan in an even layer and pour the egg-veggie mixture over the top.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove foil from the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until eggs are cooked through in center. Top with sliced green onions and serve!

    Make Breakfast Casserole Now, Bake Later

    Making breakfast casserole ahead of time frees up time in the morning, but it can be baked immediately after prepping, as well. Mornings, especially holiday mornings, can be jam-packed full of activity, so this make-ahead meal is meant to help when it’s most needed!

    • Replace bread pieces with gluten-free bread pieces or GF hash browns for a gluten-free breakfast.
