8 Breakfast Casserole Recipes for Brunch

These breakfast casserole recipes include egg-and-potato bakes, biscuits with sausage, a slow cooker option and a sweet French toast casserole. Choose the ingredients and cooking schedule that fit your brunch, then follow the link for full measurements and directions. Some need an overnight-style refrigerator soak, while others are assembled after a separate skillet or baking stage.

Check what is already cooked before assembling. Several breakfast casserole recipes use cooked sausage, ham, biscuits or pancakes, and frozen hash browns are thawed and drained first. Only use an advance refrigerator hold where the individual method specifies one. Dish depth and a cold starting mixture can change how long the center takes to set.

Breakfast Casserole Recipes with Eggs and Hash Browns

These egg bakes share potatoes and cheese but use different meats, dairy and preparation schedules. Match the listed dish size and the state of the hash browns before mixing.
