Traditional Breakfast Egg Casserole
With sauteed onions, cheese, and meat of choice – this traditional breakfast egg casserole with artisan bread is a favorite among family and friends.
I have been making this breakfast egg casserole bread recipe for many years.
I routinely make it whenever I am assigned breakfast for large group gatherings. One of the advantages of this recipe is that it is dense with ingredients, but it can be made ahead and frozen.
Having made it many times it has been tailored to culinary perfection.
Switch the meat to bacon, sausage, or ham, and make sure to buy good artisan Italian bread!
Bon appetit!
Traditional Breakfast Egg Casserole
MY COOKING PHILOSOPHY IS TO KEEP IT HEALTHY AND EASY. RECIPES INCLUDE ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS THAT CAN OFTEN BE FROZEN AND HAVE BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
I made this the day before and refrigerated the casserole in my fabulous Anchor Hocking baking dish with the True Seal lids.
I will also freeze this casserole in these dishes before baking and have frozen it for up to one month.
I have a lot of these Anchor Hocking dishes in different sizes and love them!
