I can’t wait for you to try my Overnight Breakfast Casserole Recipe!

If you are looking for a meal prep idea – or having guests stay at your house – I highly recommend this recipe.

It’s mostly hands off – just a little bit of prep work and for me its a great way to use up vegetables in my fridge.

The vegetables I used can definitely be swapped out for others you like – I just used what I had on hand.

This is a lightened up version of a breakfast casserole my Mom would make for special occassions.

My mom’s casserole had sausage, eggs, and lots of cheese! (and was delicious!)

My version is a little healthier and Weight Watcher friendly!

Notes

I love easy make a head dishes like this.  If you are using this for meal prep – it will stay fresh in your fridge for 5 days.
You can also freeze in portion sizes and reheat in an air fryer or oven until heated through – around 10 minutes.

Reheating from fridge or freezer

If you are cooking this from the fridge – remove the casserole at least 30 minutes so it’s not so cold going into the oven.

I have frozen individual pieces in the freezer.

Either defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat for 10-12 minutes at 350.

I’ve also heated it from frozen in my oven and air fryer – just heat a few minutes longer if reheating from frozen.
