Okay, so this is not a healthy recipe per se, but it’s pretty easy, you can make it ahead of time, and it’s delicious! This is one of those recipes I pull out when hosting company for brunch. I recently made it when hosting my first meal at my new home – Mother’s Day with both of my grandmothers and my mom – and everyone seemed to love this casserole!
The secret is.. I cook the veggies in the bacon grease. Don’t tell your guests, but it’s a sure fire way to make anything taste more delicious! Find my tips for the best way to cook bacon here. The ciabatta bread soaks up the egg mixture almost like a savory bread pudding. And of course there’s a lot of cheese.
The best thing about this recipe is that it can be made ahead and kept in the fridge before baking. It also keeps well, so you can enjoy the leftovers for breakfast all week long!
Who doesn’t love breakfast casserole! I love that you can customize it with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Sometimes instead of ciabatta, I’ll use roasted sweet potatoes in this recipe. You can also sub out the bacon for sausage or chorizo. Or just skip the meat all together and load up on veggies!
Biscuits & blessings,
