Quick and Easy breakfast ideas
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day! Well, breakfast foods in general are. 😉
Whether you eat breakfast in the morning or have breakfast for dinner (AKA “brinner”), I’ve put together a list of my favorite easy breakfast recipes (that are quick too!)
More often than not, we don’t have time in the morning to make a fancy breakfast—especially on weekdays before school! Fortunately, many breakfast foods can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer to make a busy morning easier. See the individual recipes for more information.
Easy Baked Breakfast
Breakfast bakes are hearty and easy to throw together. Many of them can be prepped the night before and put in the oven to bake in the morning. Here are some of our favorites:
- Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole – A savory breakfast casserole made entirely in the crockpot with hash browns, sausage, eggs, cheese, and green onions.
- Cinnamon Roll Cake – Great for a sweet breakfast treat, or brunch—this cake has sugary cinnamon swirls and a delicious sweet glaze.
- Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole – Tater tots, eggs, bacon, sausage, and two types of cheese combined into a delicious casserole bake.
- French Toast Bake – A delicious overnight casserole made from pieces of sourdough bread covered in an egg mixture, topped with cinnamon sugar, and baked to perfection!
- Crescent Roll Sausage Bake – This ultra-easy recipe only requires 3 ingredients—crescent rolls, sausage, and cream cheese—and comes together in just 25 minutes!
- Biscuit Egg Casserole – Biscuit dough, eggs, cheese, and sausage baked up into a savory and cheesy casserole.
- Baked Eggs – These eggs can be the star of the show, or served on the side. Just mix eggs with cottage cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar and bake!
