Bacon Breakfast Casserole

Do you love a good fritatta recipe? For this Winter Breakfast Casserole Recipe, I basically followed a simple Frittata recipe and turned it into a breakfast casserole for the next morning.

It was perfect for serving on a cold winter’s morn.

Why I love breakfast casseroles

The beauty of breakfast casseroles is that you prepare them the day before and pull them out of the fridge the morning you are ready to bake.

We also love this time of year, this Baked Egg Nog French Toast Casserole, Stuffed Pear French Toast, and this Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole that my Dad’s wife, Ginny makes (so good). Here’s the Ham Breakfast Casserole version (great with leftover holiday ham). Or try this Cheesy Breakfast Stuffing Cakes recipe.

I usually make 2, because they are excellent as leftovers.

Serve for a big crowd.
