It isn’t Christmas morning without Christmas morning breakfast casserole in our house. My mom picked up a similar recipe when I was growing up and it’s morphed into this version as I’ve taken on hosting Christmas morning. Not everything about the holidays is easy, but this recipe is. Seriously, it’s one of the easiest Christmas traditions that we’ve ever had. Check out this super easy and amazingly delicious recipe for breakfast casserole.

Making Memories with Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole

Ever since I can remember, we have had breakfast casserole on Christmas morning. My mom made a similar version with sliced white bread. It was by far my favorite Christmas tradition. Of course food is something I remember more than gifts, right? With mom going through cancer treatments during the holidays, I’m trying even harder to keep our Christmas traditions going strong. New here and don’t know much about mom’s story? Read about it here. We always eat it while going through our stockings. I don’t think it would feel like Christmas if we didn’t have breakfast casserole.

I know I say this a lot, but y’all, this Christmas morning breakfast casserole is so easy. I mean so. Easy. You seriously can’t mess this up. I’ve made this a million different ways, and it always ends up tasting delicious. It’s always gone quickly. You really can’t go wrong with bread, cheese, eggs, and breakfast meat.

How to Make Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole

While you can swap out different cheeses and breakfast meats, I’ve found that the best combination is aged cheddar with sage sausage over French bread.
