Easy Breakfast for a Crowd

Breakfast Casseroles are one of the most underrated breakfast dishes! They’re SO easy to throw together and can feed a large crowd, which makes them perfect for family get-togethers, holiday weekends, brunches, or baby/bridal showers.

There are so many kinds of easy Breakfast Casserole Recipes. Most of them contain eggs, and either bread or potatoes with different types of breakfast meats like ham, bacon, or sausage.

Cheesy Breakfast Pie and Ham and Breakfast Strata are two of our favorite savory casseroles. Some Breakfast Casseroles are sweet, like our French Toast Bake, or Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake.

We have several tried and true Breakfast Casserole Recipes to share with you. But before we do, we’ve gathered some tips for making your own.

Breakfast Casserole Tips

Make ahead of time. Not only are casseroles super easy to throw together, but most can also be made ahead of time. Simply combine the ingredients the night before, cover, and refrigerate until morning.

You can also prepare the different ingredients the night before so that it only takes a few minutes to assemble the casserole and bake it.

Runny casserole. If your casserole is almost done baking and is still runny:

  1. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water in a small bowl.
  2. Remove the casserole from the oven and stir the cornstarch mixture into the casserole. The cornstarch slurry will help thicken the casserole while it finishes baking.

Casserole additions

We love each Breakfast Casserole as they are, however, you can easily customize them to your preference. Here are a few flavor additions that work well with most savory casseroles:

  • bacon bits, ham cubes, sausage crumbles
  • diced bell peppers
  • broccoli florets
  • green onions
  • spinach
  • sliced mushrooms
  • cheese: pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, colby jack cheese, swiss cheese
  • Buttermilk Syrup

What to serve with Breakfast Bakes

If I am making a savory breakfast casserole I like to balance the meal with a sweet side, like a Fruit Salad or Yogurt Parfait.

If the breakfast bake is sweet, then I’ll often serve a more savory side like Hash Browns or Avocado Eggs.

Storing info

The individual recipes have more storage information specific to that recipe, but here are a few general tips.

STORE. In general, most casseroles and bakes can be covered and stored overnight in the fridge before baking them.

FREEZE. To store it in the freezer, first bake, then let it cool. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and again with foil. Thaw before reheating.

Leftovers with eggs or meats can be covered and refrigerated for 2-3 days. If it is a sweeter bake, it does not typically need to be refrigerated. Both the leftovers for savory and sweet casseroles can be covered and frozen for up to 2 months.

FAQs

Why do you have to refrigerate breakfast casserole overnight? ›

The casserole is covered and refrigerated overnight to allow the liquid ingredients to be absorbed into the bread. This is a perishable mixture and should be cooked the morning or day after assembly. Bake in an oven set no lower than 325 °F. Most recipes suggest 350 °F.

Why is my breakfast casserole soggy? ›

Baked egg dishes tend to have issues with becoming too rubbery or watery after cooking. This is especially the case when high-moisture vegetables or dense meats are in the mixture—sautéing the potatoes and vegetables before baking helps to dry the food and concentrate flavors.

Is it better to freeze egg casserole before or after baking? ›

If your casserole has raw protein, like chicken or shrimp, make sure to bake it and cool it completely before freezing. If it doesn't have protein or the protein is cooked, no pre-baking is necessary. With this in mind, your freezer can be stocked with a ready-made casserole for every month or even every week.

What's the difference between a frittata and a breakfast casserole? ›

As for the cooking process, frittata is made by briefly cooking an egg-based custard in a cast-iron pan on the stove, then baking it for a short time in the oven. Meanwhile, the egg custard in a breakfast casserole is poured over layers of other ingredients in a deep baking dish before going into the oven.

Can you eat an egg casserole that was left out overnight? ›

Cooked eggs and egg dishes may be refrigerated for serving later but should be thoroughly reheated to 165° F before serving. Never leave cooked eggs or egg dishes out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours or for more than 1 hour when temperatures are above 90° F.

How long can uncooked breakfast casserole stay in the fridge? ›

The version written below with sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, and cheddar cheese is generally the most popular with guests. You can assemble the entire dish and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

How to thicken breakfast casserole? ›

Make a cornstarch slurry for a fast and easy thickener.

Use one tablespoon of cornstarch per cup of liquid you would like to thicken. Stir out all the lumps. A few minutes before your casserole is done, add it a little at a time until you are happy with the thickness. Then, let the casserole finish baking.

How do you know when your breakfast casserole is done? ›

How do you know when breakfast casserole is done? Just stick a knife into the center of your egg casserole recipe after 55 minutes of baking. If it comes out clean, your baked egg casserole is ready!

How do you make a casserole taste better? ›

Fresh herbs or citrus zest can also punch up flavors with a bit of welcome brightness for a long-cooked dish, as can adding some heat in the form of a dash of hot sauce, a generous pinch of minced or sliced fresh chili pepper, or a shake of red pepper flakes.

What is a safe temperature for egg casserole? ›

Cook egg dishes, such as quiche and casseroles, to 160 °F. In-shell pasteurized eggs and pasteurized egg substitutes may be used safely without cooking.

How to reheat breakfast casserole? ›

Wrap tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, then reheat in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes the next morning until the casserole is browned and heated through.

Can you freeze scrambled eggs? ›

Scrambled eggs are easy to freeze, and they taste great when reheated. We like to cook them so they're slightly runny, which helps retain a soft texture when they're warmed through. Let your scrambled eggs fully cool before packing them into individual portions in freezer-safe bags.

What is another name for breakfast casserole? ›

Strata, breakfast casserole, savoury French toast bake or savoury bread pudding. It doesn't matter what you call this, it's totally delish and can be made ahead, so it's great for feeding a crowd! It tastes like a cross between a quiche, French toast and an omelette.

What is a frittata in English? ›

What is a crustless egg dish called? ›

Frittatas are first cooked on the stovetop and finished in the oven, whereas quiches (like this crustless quiche) are baked entirely in the oven. Quiche combines milk (or cream) and eggs; frittatas often use only eggs.

What happens if you forget to put casserole in the fridge overnight? ›

The Two-Hour Rule

At two hours, the food must be consumed, stored correctly, or thrown away. This includes all cooked leftovers, [chopped] fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products."

Why do casseroles have to sit overnight? ›

Casseroles are at their best when the ingredients are able to meld, which is why they often taste even better the second day.

How long should a refrigerated casserole sit out before baking? ›

How long does it take a refrigerated casserole to come to room temp? Depending on the size of the dish and the density of its contents, it takes about an hour for to come up to room temperature. Add more time for a larger pan or one with dense contents.

Why does strata have to sit overnight? ›
