The Perfect Egg Casserole

Every Christmas morning my mother would make an egg casserole accompanied by homemade cinnamon buns for breakfast. I didn’t understand how she made breakfast and was able to open present at the same time, well mind blown… She did most of the baking the night before! Yep, she cooked the potatoes, vegetables, AND sausage or bacon the night before so in the morning all she needed to do was whisk the eggs, pour them on top (sometimes she even did this the night before!), and pop it all in the oven Christmas morning. Having a family of my own, I’ve carried on this tradition at our house not only on Christmas but for other special occasions. Recently I’ve been enjoying this breakfast as meal prep. I make it on Sunday so my family can enjoy a quick and easy breakfast during the week.
