breakfast casserole
I can’t think of anything easier for a holiday breakfast or brunch than a breakfast casserole. Prepare it the night before to bake it the morning of for the easiest breakfast to feed a crowd!
The all important component in this casserole has to be the egg base. You want a creamy mixture that won’t dry out in the oven, plus a delicious veggie medley to provide flavours. To make it deliciously creamy, use milk plus a little heavy cream (thickened cream).
The beauty of this casserole is that it is so versatile you can really make it your own!
You can use bacon; a bacon/ham mixture (as we did here) OR sausages. Any sausage works well here: breakfast sausage, turkey, chicken, beef, mild Italian or pork. Or add in your favourite!
