Breakfast Casserole

The Breakfast Casserole is perfect for when you need to feed the crowd first thing in the morning. Eggs, sausage, and hash browns are placed in a casserole dish, topped with cheese and baked until sticky golden brown.

Serve with a fresh fruit salad (or fruit kebabs for easy serving) and keep the coffee (or mimosa)! Start the day right with this delicious breakfast dish.

Here's a delicious breakfast casserole we really like and hope you enjoy it too.
