Whether you’re hosting brunch, meal-prepping for the week, or just want an easy breakfast that feeds a crowd, breakfast casseroles make mornings a whole lot easier.
Breakfast Casseroles
Breakfast casseroles make mornings easier—whether you’re hosting brunch, meal prepping for the week, or just want a healthy, comforting breakfast you can bake once and enjoy for days. They’re also one of my favorite things to serve for the holidays: Christmas morning, Easter brunch, Mother’s Day, or anytime you’re feeding a house full of family. This collection includes my best lighter casseroles with eggs, sweet French toast bakes, make-ahead meal prep favorites, and even sheet pan pancakes for a fun, hands-off twist. Perfect for weekends, holidays, or busy weekdays when you want something warm and satisfying without the fuss.
Why These Casseroles Are the Perfect Addition to Your Brunch Menu
Whether you’re hosting out-of-town guests or planning a big breakfast with your family on Christmas morning, ’tis the season for breakfast casseroles!
I always turn to breakfast casserole recipes when hosting brunches and breakfasts because making other breakfast recipes like pancakes and scrambled eggs just isn’t practical when you’re serving a crowd.
Here’s why you’re going to love these recipes:
- Great for holidays (Christmas morning, New Year’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day brunch)
- Mostly one-pan and easy cleanup
- Tried and true recipes. All of these breakfast casseroles have been rigorously tested so you can feel confident knowing they’ll work out as described.
- Make-ahead options. Each of these recipes can be assembled the night before so you can just pop them in the oven the morning of your get-together.
- Enough for a crowd (or meal prep). A big casserole makes enough servings for a big get-together! But I also make these for weekday mornings too—I divvy up the servings into individual containers and my family has heat-and-eat breakfasts all week long.

Make-Ahead Instructions
You’ll need to consult the instructions for each recipe linked above, but these tips will work for most casseroles.
- Assemble up to the point of baking.
- Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil.
- Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Remove the casserole dish from the fridge while you preheat the oven.
- Bake as instructed. Because the contents of the casserole are starting out cooler, it may take a few extra minutes for the center to bake through.
Serving Suggestions
I always pair breakfast casseroles with fruit and a simple side or two. Here are some ideas.
