Overnight Egg + Sausage Breakfast Casserole Bake
We LOVE overnight breakfast casseroles especially throughout the holiday season when the house is packed with guests.
Everyone is going to wake up hungry, so why not make your job easier!?!
Truthfully, these types of prep-ahead breakfasts are great year-round!
So, you may know that I have a very large blended family…4 kids of my own, 2 more are my bonus kids (Jason’s). All SIX are teenagers and they almost always have friends over for sleepovers on the weekends.
Welp. That’s A LOT of people to cook breakfast for! Sometimes 10-12 people on a Saturday or Sunday morning!
This is a FANTASTIC idea to feed a crowd without much effort in the mornings (or any time of day, for that matter!)
Ezekiel bread is not gluten-free, however, the grains are sprouted making it a much healthier option for those of us who can tolerate gluten.
Otherwise, whole-grain gluten-free bread will work for this recipe as well.
Sprouting mimics what happens to plants in nature when they’re germinating or sprouting and makes their nutrients more available to our bodies!
