When it comes to cooking no one in this household will deny that my husband reigns supreme on breakfasts. He’s just better at them, no matter what I try, unless it’s a casserole. I win hands down on breakfast casseroles.
He’s been hinting to me for the past few months that he wants breakfast casserole. Mainly he was thinking about the crush corn flake topping. So finally, the stars aligned and I somehow managed to have everything I needed for this recipe in the house at one time. Since I went through all the work to make it, I thought I’d share the recipe with you.

Okay…. I’m SUPER hungry now. This looks so good. Granted, I’m super sick and my appetite has left me… but not anymore. Wish you could send some of these my way. Happy Friday, Mary!
Question – can this be made ahead and refrigerated overnight then cooked the next morning? Making it for araster tomorrow bug would like to make ahead.
Sorry for the delayed response! We were on vacation over the past week. I’ve never mixed it up and baked the next day, but it does taste fantastic reheated. I’d say in the future if you have a chance to test it out by putting it all together and refrigerating overnight before baking, but if you are serving it to guests the next day, instead bake it the night before, then reheat in the oven for a bit before serving in the morning.
