Christmas Morning Casserole brings comfort and joy to your holiday. All the delights of breakfast in one casserole.
Are you excited for the holidays? I am excited.
Christmas morning is obviously the peak of all the holiday excitement, and in our family it is always spent hovered over hot coffee and breakfast casseroles, while we refuse to wear anything but pajamas and laze on the sofa.
That’s how you do a holiday up right.
All families do things differently though – some stay at home and receive guests, some have to travel, some spend holidays with friends.
In any circumstance, it’s always great to have a really easy go-to recipe to serve up a big breakfast fast. Sometimes I make this bacon spinach breakfast casserole — it’s always a hit.
And sometimes I lean towards a quick scramble, like this sausage and butternut squash scramble.
But!!! As far as easy-to-make, easy-to-clean, and easy-to-feed-everyone goes, Christmas morning casserole is IT. It’s also great for things besides Christmas. Like sleepovers.
Have you ever tried to feed a bunch of hungry boys in the morning after a really long night of them not sleeping at all? This is how you do it.
Christmas morning casserole is loaded with eggs, bacon, cheese, and biscuits. It’s also really easy to customize. You could substitute sausage for bacon.
You could add sausage with bacon.
You could forgo the meat and throw in some spinach, tomatoes, and peppers. Basically, if you think it would taste good in an omelet it will be delicious in this casserole.
The canned biscuits really make this easy to pull together. If you have gluten free needs, try this cheesy delicious gluten free breakfast casserole.
If you are feeling like some southern comfort, try these super yummy cheesy grits with eggs and spinach!

- 1 1/2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded
- 4 Green Onions Chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 X 13 casserole dish.
- In a large bowl beat together the eggs and milk. Add in the biscuit pieces, cheese, onions, and bacon and gently turn everything over in the bowl to evenly coat.
- Pour everything into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 – 30 minutes. You want the eggs to be firmly set and the biscuits to be puffy and golden.
Notes
- This recipe is based on something called a Comfort Bake. It has been slightly adapted based on my own tests. The original is supposed to be from Pillsbury, but I had a hard time finding their version and there are variations posted all around the web.
