Easy, Cheesy Breakfast Casseroles For Your Holiday Guests

Holidays is a time to be with family and for many of this, that means having visitors staying at your home for a few days. Instead of having to make everyone their own breakfast, a breakfast casserole is the perfect way to minimize effort and create a delicious meal, especially when it includes cheese. Each of these options is great for cheese lovers and easy to make.

Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

Hash browns are a breakfast favorite, but you don’t have to just serve hash brown patties by themselves. This casserole makes them more exciting by creating a casserole with hash brown patties, eggs, milk, sour cream, bacon, green onion, garlic powder, ground mustard, black pepper, and of course the star: shredded Cheddar cheese. Some of the cheese gets added to the other ingredients along with the bacon and onions while the rest is sprinkled on top.

Sausage, Egg, And Hash Brown Casserole

For this recipe, you cook some sausage, red pepper, onion, and garlic. Then add hash browns and lots of your favorite cheese (mozzarella and cheddar work best) after shredding it. Whisk some eggs and milk with black pepper then put everything together before putting it in your casserole dish and adding a bit more cheese to make this a truly cheesy breakfast casserole. Once you cook it, the gooey cheese will be topping a new breakfast favorite.

Create Your Own Cheesy Casserole

Looking at the two previous recipes, it seems pretty easy to come up with the perfect combination. Most easy, cheesy breakfast casseroles will include bacon or sausage, some hash browns or potatoes for texture, and lots of cheese. The most popular cheese choice is cheddar, but cottage cheese, mozzarella, and Swiss all work just as well.

Vegetable And Brie Strata

This is a delicious breakfast casserole that happens to be completely vegetarian. Saute together sweet onion, red bell pepper, and peeled potato. Take a round of Brie and get rid of the rind. Grease your baking dish, lining it with cubes of Brie, Parmesan cheese, the vegetables, and some cubed sourdough bread. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard together and add it on top. Put a second layer of each (the cheese mixture and the egg mixture) in your dish and bake it for 45 minutes.

Breakfast Enchilada Casserole

If your holiday guests love Tex-Mex, then try making them a breakfast enchilada casserole. The main casserole ingredients are pork sausage, butter, green onions, cilantro, and tortillas, but the favorite part will be the cheese sauce. Make your own using shredded Cheddar cheese (consider a jalapeno flavored one), flour, milk, salt, and butter. Don’t forget to sprinkle a spicy cheese on top of the casserole before putting it in the oven. Opt for something like Monterey Jack or jalapeno cheddar.
