Breakfast is the first meal of the day. What a great way to start your day with sausage egg and cheese casserole. Your whole meal all in one bowl. This dish can easily be turned into a family casserole by doubling the ingredients and baking in a large casserole dish. This recipe was design for a breakfast for two.
I love breakfast food, and this is one of my favorite casserole dishes. You can easily switch out or add to the casserole different proteins or vegetables like ham, bacon, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the casserole ahead of time?
Yes you can make a breakfast casserole ahead of time but I would not place the bread crumbs on top until it is ready to go into the oven to bake.
How long can I kept leftover casserole in the fridge?
Left over breakfast casserole can be kept in the fridge when it is properly stored in an airtight container or zip lock bag for at least 3 days.
Can I freeze leftover breakfast casserole after baking?
Whenever you are freezing food always wait until it is completely cool. I suggest placing in an appropriate freezer zip lock bag. I would cut in squares and date the zip lock. Good for 3 months in the freezer.
