    I love holiday mornings! I love the laziness, I love the laughter and I love the fun.

    Whether it’s Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or Easter, or whatever other holiday, I love to serve a late breakfast/brunch with a delicious egg casserole. I love these specifically because they can be made the day before and they get better with “age.” And they are an easy option for holiday breakfast/brunch because they are so hands off – just put into the oven and it’s ready in an hour.

    While it’s baking, we can be opening Christmas gifts, or preparing gravy for Thanksgiving, or getting the ham and other side dishes ready to cook on Easter.

    This is a potato-egg casserole, which is similar to a bread-egg casserole…just uses frozen shredded potatoes instead of bread!

    This egg casserole can be prepared the evening before…just cover it with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated. Remove it from the fridge at the same time you preheat the oven, so it’s warmed up a touch before you bake it.

    Here’s a closer look at this amazing egg casserole…

    DELISH!

    I prefer to use the shredded potatoes when making potato-egg casseroles…but you could use cubed as well!

    Bacon. Perfectly crisped.

    Cheese. Loads of it.

    And green onions…because they just put it all into perfect flavor balance.

    Enjoy!
