These easy, one-dish breakfast casseroles will satisfy your entire table—and let you hit the snooze button a few extra times.
Anyone who says that breakfast is the most important, can't-skip meal of the day... has never had to feed a hungry group of house guests. From the idea of trying to figure out exactly how everyone wants their eggs (fried, scrambled, poached?) to trying to whip up stacks of pancakes or hash browns, it's pretty easy to consider ditching the meal altogether and letting the hungry horde fend for themselves. No more! Breakfast casseroles to the rescue. They feed a crowd, are super-easy to throw together (some can even be assembled the night before!), and are just as festive and tasty as their breakfast counterparts.
Whether it’s a holiday, a birthday brunch, or you just want to surprise your roommates (and get them to stop finishing your cereal), we’ve got an easy casserole recipe for you. Check out our 34 breakfast casserole recipes for ideas—they’re sweet and savory, so there’s something for everyone.
Fan of sweets in the morning? You don’t have to stand over your stove babysitting individual pancakes or waffles anymore. Try our chocolate chip pancake bake, our French toast casserole, or our cinnamon roll casserole. If you’re the type to get crazy with your breakfast foods (us too—our maple bacon cinnamon rolls or jelly donut French toast come to mind), try incorporating fun flavors into your casseroles too. You might just invent a new family favorite.
More of the bacon and eggs type for breakfast? We’ve got options for you too. Try our , our biscuits and gravy bake, our chicken and waffles casserole, or our everything bagel casserole. Trust us, they’re way better than serving individual versions of the brunch time classics.
Can’t decide between sweet or savory? Make one of each so no one has to choose. Still feeling frantic over brunch? Try our favorite brunch co*cktails to take the edge off too.
