I first made Make-Ahead Egg Bake for Christmas morning breakfast. I tossed it together with the cooked ground sausage I had in my freezer. All I had to do was chop up a few bell peppers on Christmas Eve and put this casserole together and stick it in the fridge.

This is the perfect Christmas morning recipe. The kids will have zero interest in eating first thing......MUST.GET.TO.PRESENTS. So I stuck this in the oven and it was ready to eat once the gifts were opened.

I now make this often to reheat for school morning breakfasts and anytime we are hosting breakfast guests.

Easy Make-Ahead Egg Bake!  This is so easy to adapt using any meat and veggie combo.  We love it with sausage and bell peppers.
