Recipe: How about Breakfast Casseroles...

Terri ~ how about a variety of Breakfast Casseroles.

I have posted some recipes that were previously posted on TKL. There are many many more if you search TKL for "breakfast casseroles." The majority of these recipes are designed to be made atleast one day ahead and then baked when ready to use. You could also serve slices of fresh mellons or wedges of oranges.

I have a few more ideas which I will post separately :0)
