When I posted my Amish Casserole back at the beginning of the year, it was a huge hit. Both here, and on the Parade site, people couldn't get enough of it. With such success, my editor suggested I try my hand at a breakfast version as well. Challenge accepted!
If you tried the dinner variety and loved how simple it is, with on-hand ingredients, you will feel the same about the morning time one too! Nothing fancy here, just a hearty all in one meal perfect morning, noon or night!
I love having my eggs, sausage, and potatoes all in one bite! Add in some cheese and it's a bite made in heaven! Plus, this recipe is a great stepping off point. Maybe you have frozen shredded potatoes instead. Great. Feel like bacon instead of sausage? I think that would be delicious! Family doesn't groove on cottage cheese? Swap it out for some mozzarella, Swiss for even white cheddar! Got extra veggies in the fridge that need used? Throw those in too! See...the possibilities are endless!
With Easter coming next month, brunch is going to be a hot button topic! This would be fantastic to come home to after church, as the kids dig into their baskets! I would serve it with a fresh fruit salad, toast and call it a meal!
Oh, and those of you who love "brinner" like we do? (You know, breakfast for supper!) That's exactly when I made this, and the boys loved it! A great comfort casserole after a long day!
If you're looking for simple ideas for any breakfast, brunch or dinner, Easter or any other day, this definitely needs to go to the top of your list!
