CHAPTER 1
Breakfast
From steel-cut oats packed with berries to light and fluffy cinnamon-coated rolls, fried eggs over hash browns, and spicy charred sausage with avocado, breakfast casseroles come in all shapes and sizes.
Layered Ham and Cheese Croissant Casserole
Yield: 7 large croissant sandwiches | Prep Time: 20 minutes plus overnight set | Cook Time: 1 hour
Nothing says brunch, and morning comfort, like a ham and cheese croissant. This casserole can be made the night before, which makes things even easier in the morning. Serve straight out of the casserole dish as individual sandwiches, or cut up and place on a platter. I like to shingle the croissants so they're easy to grab out of the dish individually. Either way, find yourself some flaky croissants and kick off your weekend!
INGREDIENTS
7 croissants
DIRECTIONS
1. Lightly coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Slice the croissants, spread each one with mustard, and fill them with the ham and cheese. Shingle the croissant sandwiches into the casserole dish.
3. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Pour over the sandwiches and cover the dish with foil. Weight the top with a plate or cookie sheet to submerge the sandwiches in the egg mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake, covered with the foil, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Serve.
VARIATIONS
Spice the sandwiches up with pepper jack cheese or add a touch of sweetness with honey Dijon mustard.
NOTES
It's all about the croissants! If you can find some at a local bakery, the superior quality and freshness will certainly shine through.
Berry Breakfast Casserole
Yield: Serves 6 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 40 minutes
This casserole looks and tastes like a blondie, but it's packed with oats and superfood berries. Prepare it in the morning before guests arrive. If you have a few stragglers, pop the casserole back in the oven to reheat when everyone is ready to eat. If there is any left after breakfast, this makes for one of my favorite afternoon snacks served with yogurt and honey.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Beat the egg in a small bowl, add the milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix well. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, add the blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, and pecans, and mix until well blended.
4. Pour into the baking dish and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the sliced strawberries. Cut into squares and serve warm with yogurt and honey.
Make-Ahead Oatmeal Casserole
Yield: Serves 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes
Before you crawl under the covers at night, assemble this oatmeal and set it in the fridge. When you wake up, all you have to do is brew a pot of coffee and pop the dish in the oven. The sweet blueberries folded throughout and the taste of buttery vanilla almonds make this a very special oatmeal. This casserole tastes like comfort and warmth on a cold winter weekend.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups rolled oats
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly coat an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, the baking powder, cinnamon, salt, dried cherries, half of the blueberries, and half of the almonds. Pour into the baking dish and top with the remaining blueberries and almonds. Whisk together the milk, half-and-half, egg, melted butter, and vanilla and pour on top of the oatmeal mixture.
3. At this point you can either sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and bake for 30 minutes, or cover as is and place in the fridge overnight.
4. Once baked, remove from oven and scoop into individual serving bowls. Serve warm, topped with extra blueberries, yogurt, and honey if you wish.
Cinnamon Roll Casserole
Yield: Serves 8 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes
We all know the smell of cinnamon rolls baking, the stickiness that comes with eating a vanilla-glazed sweet bun, and the burst of powdered sugar glaze and warm raisins when we take the first bite. But I'll bet that most often you bake cinnamon rolls in a single layer on a cookie sheet in the oven. I guarantee this version, layered in a casserole dish and dredged in cinnamon sugar batter, will be the ooey-gooiest in your recipe collection.
INGREDIENTS
Casserole
2 (12-ounce) tubes cinnamon rolls
Cream Cheese Icing
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
2. Arrange a layer of the cinnamon rolls to completely cover the bottom of the pie plate. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, then ½ cup raisins, over the cinnamon rolls. Whisk together the eggs, cream, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour over the rolls. Place the remaining rolls on top and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar and ½ cup raisins. Bake for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
3. For the cream cheese icing: While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the icing by combining the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth.
4. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the hot cinnamon rolls and top with the remaining raisins. Serve.
Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancake Casserole
Yield: Serves 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes plus 2 hours' refrigeration | Cook Time: 40 minutes
On Saturdays I make pancakes. Not because they are complicated or because I never seem to have time during the week, but because they are decadent and worthy of a weekend occasion. I am not sure when this tradition started, but it began with standard pancake making and one day a week I would work on pouring perfect pancakes, which never seemed to look too circular. My solution? Turn them into a casserole! Not only is it easier, but it happens to be delicious, while delivering that spot-hitting Saturday pancake essence.
INGREDIENTS
4 large eggs
DIRECTIONS
1. Lightly coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Whisk together the eggs, cream, maple syrup, and vanilla.
2. Layer half of the pancakes in the pan and scatter 1 sliced banana and half of the chocolate chips on top. Pour half of the egg mixture over the pancakes. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, banana, chocolate chips, and egg mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Half an hour before you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and cover the dish with foil. Bake the casserole, covered, for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
VARIATIONS
If you prefer a basic buttermilk pancake casserole, remove the chocolate chips. I love how mini pancakes look; I think they are adorable! But of course you can use full-size pancakes and cut them in quarters before placing them in the baking dish.
Cinnamon-Pumpkin French Toast
Yield: Serves 6 to 8 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes
I have a vivid memory of carving pumpkins with a friend on a cold fall weekend in New England. We wore cozy sweaters, drank tea, and spent the majority of the day on the floor scooping and sifting the pumpkin seeds out while a dog lapped around, doing her best to lick them up. There are plenty of things to make with pumpkin, namely that ubiquitous pie, but this is by far one of my favorite pumpkin recipes. The challah bread is sliced thick, resembling the French toast sticks I ate as a kid, and coated in a sweet cinnamon-pumpkin mixture.
INGREDIENTS
French Toast
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Streusel Topping
1 cup light brown sugar
Maple Butter
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
2. For the French toast: Combine the cream, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the pumpkin puree until smooth. Place the bread sticks in the baking dish, add the pumpkin mixture, and gently toss to coat.
3. For the streusel topping: Gently combine the brown sugar, pecans, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
4. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the casserole and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until set (if the streusel starts to brown, cover with foil to finish baking).
5. For the maple butter: While the casserole bakes, combine the melted butter with maple syrup in a small bowl.
6. Scoop the French toast into serving bowls and serve drizzled with maple butter.
Overnight Eggs Benedict
Yield: Serves 6 to 8 | Prep Time: 20 minutes plus overnight set | Cook Time: 1 hour
I thought eggs Benedict was a restaurant-only food, too challenging to replicate at home. But my, was I wrong! And the real kicker? This version is made the night before, so you don't have to do any work in the morning. With sliced ham and English muffins baked in eggs and topped with a simple hollandaise, this may not look like the eggs Benedict you're familiar with, but its taste rivals some of the best.
INGREDIENTS
6 large eggs
DIRECTIONS
1. Lightly coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, scallions, and salt.
2. Spread half of the ham in the baking dish. Place the toasted English muffin cubes on top of the ham and then top with the remaining ham. Pour the egg mixture over the casserole, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
3. Heat the oven to 375°F. Sprinkle the paprika over the casserole, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the egg mixture is set, an additional 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, whisk the milk and hollandaise sauce mix together in a saucepan. Add the butter and bring to a boil, stirring. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir until thick. Drizzle the sauce over the casserole and serve, garnished with parsley sprigs.
VARIATIONS
Use whole-wheat English muffins for a healthier alternative.
Bacon and Egg Hash Brown Scramble
Yield: Serves 8 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 1 hour
"Scramble" is one of my favorite words. You might think chaos and mass confusion, but when it comes to a baked breakfast, that word works well. Inside this mixture are hash browns, bacon, cheddar, and eggs — and when those come together, no order is the order of the day.
INGREDIENTS
2 large eggs
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the soup, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper and whisk to mix well. Stir in the hash browns and bacon until well mixed. Pour into the baking dish and top with the cheese. Place the crushed corn flakes in the bowl, add the melted butter, and toss to coat; sprinkle evenly on top of the casserole.
3. Bake for 1 hour, until puffy and lightly browned on top. Serve.
NOTES
Evaporated milk will give the mixture a creamier texture, but can be replaced with whole or 2 percent milk.
Chicken Ranch Hash Brown Casserole
Yield: Serves 2 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes
The first moment when your fork punctures the yolk is the start of a delicious meal as the ooey-gooeyness coats the rest of the dish, acting as a last-minute sauce. Crispy ranch hash browns and chicken make for a hearty breakfast, one that happens to be a perfect dish for two.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned cream of chicken soup
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl combine the soup, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, ranch mix, Tabasco, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to mix, then add the hash browns, chicken, and cheese. Spoon into the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling and the top is lightly browned.
3. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then crack the eggs into the pan and season with salt and pepper. After 3 minutes, when the eggs begin to whiten, flip them. Divide the casserole between two plates, top each portion with a fried egg, and serve, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
NOTES
For the chicken, use leftovers from dinner or a rotisserie chicken from the store.
