Packed with eggs, sausage, cheese, and seasoned bread, this casserole is baked to golden perfection and ready to feed a crowd. The best part? You can prepare it the night before, making it perfect for a stress-free holiday morning. Whether you’re hosting a family breakfast or just want a cozy start to your day, this casserole will surely become a holiday tradition!

Ingredients

For the Casserole:

  • 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 6 cups (about 300g) cubed bread (day-old works best)

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup (60g) shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (optional)

Directions

  1. Prepare the Sausage:
    In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the Casserole:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh parsley. Add the cooked sausage and cubed bread to the egg mixture and gently stir to combine, ensuring the bread is soaked.
  3. Assemble the Casserole:
    Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Chill Overnight (Optional):
    For the best results, cover the casserole with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the bread to soak up the egg mixture. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step and bake it immediately.
  5. Bake the Casserole:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If you chilled the casserole overnight, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden and bubbly.
  6. Add the Topping:
    About 10 minutes before the casserole is done, sprinkle the additional cheese on top and drizzle with melted butter, if desired. Return to the oven for the final few minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Substitutions: You can swap the breakfast sausage for bacon, ham, or even a vegetarian sausage for a different flavor profile.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: This casserole is perfect for making ahead. Prepare it the night before and simply bake it in the morning for a quick and easy holiday breakfast!

Christmas Breakfast Casserole is a must-have on your holiday table. With its savory flavor and comforting texture, it’s sure to be a hit with family and friends this season!

  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup (50g / 0.11 lb) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk, warmed
  • ¼ cup (60ml) water, warmed
  • ¼ cup (60g / 0.13 lb) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

For the Strawberry Filling

  • 1 ½ cups (225g / 0.5 lb) fresh strawberries, diced
  • ¼ cup (50g / 0.11 lb) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup (120g / 0.26 lb) powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

 

Directions

Step 1: Make the Dough

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, water, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
    Add the softened butter, egg, and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough:
    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary, but the dough should remain slightly sticky.
  5. Let It Rise:
    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Filling

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    While the dough is rising, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir until the strawberries are coated and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Roll Out the Dough:
    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
  2. Spread the Filling:
    Evenly spread the strawberry filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Roll the Dough:
    Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  4. Slice the Rolls:
    Using a sharp knife or dental floss, slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
  5. Arrange in a Baking Dish:
    Place the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, until puffed up.

Step 4: Bake the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake:
    Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 5: Make the Glaze

  1. Mix the Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.

Step 6: Glaze and Serve

  1. Glaze the Rolls:
    Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for about 5 minutes before drizzling the glaze generously over the top.
  2. Serve:
    Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, fruity, and perfectly soft strawberry cinnamon rolls!

Notes

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Strawberries: If using frozen strawberries, thaw them first and drain any excess liquid before mixing with the sugar and cornstarch.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
  • Make Ahead: You can assemble the rolls the night before and store them in the fridge. Let them come to room temperature before baking.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Freeze unbaked rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, thaw overnight in the fridge, let rise, and bake as directed.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?
Absolutely! You can use other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or even a mix of berries. Just be sure to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit.

Do I have to use cornstarch in the filling?
The cornstarch helps thicken the strawberry filling and prevents it from becoming too runny. If you don’t have cornstarch, you can use flour or omit it, but the filling may be a little looser.

Can I use store-bought dough?
Yes! If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought pizza or crescent roll dough to make this recipe even quicker.

How do I keep the rolls from becoming soggy?
Make sure to drain any excess liquid from the strawberries, especially if using frozen berries. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too wet.

What should I serve with strawberry cinnamon rolls?
These rolls are perfect on their own, but they pair beautifully with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a mimosa for a brunch treat!

Tips and Notes

  • My Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the strawberry filling.
  • Pro Trick: Use unflavored dental floss to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the dough. Simply slide the floss under the rolled dough, cross it over the top, and pull to slice.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve these rolls warm, drizzled with glaze, alongside a fresh fruit salad for a perfect brunch spread.

Variations

  • Strawberry Cream Cheese Rolls: Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on the dough before adding the strawberry filling for an extra creamy twist.
  • Mixed Berry Cinnamon Rolls: Use a combination of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries for a delicious mixed berry version.
  • Lemon Glazed Strawberry Rolls: Add lemon juice and zest to the glaze for a bright, citrusy contrast to the sweet rolls.
  • Chocolate Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the strawberry filling before rolling up the dough for a decadent, chocolatey twist.
  • Healthier Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls: Use whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose flour, and reduce the sugar in the filling for a lighter version.

Cinnamon Apple Bread

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  1. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar:
    In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Bread Batter

  1. Whisk the Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix in the Dry Ingredients and Milk:
    Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the Apples:
    Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.

Step 4: Layer the Bread

  1. First Layer:
    Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Add the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
    Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  3. Second Layer:
    Pour the remaining batter on top and smooth it out with a spatula.

Step 5: Make the Crumble Topping (Optional)

  1. Mix the Topping:
    In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Slice the cinnamon apple bread and enjoy it warm or at room temperature. Serve with a spread of butter or enjoy it on its own with a hot cup of coffee or tea!

Notes

  • Apples: Granny Smith apples are great for baking because of their tartness, but any firm apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji will work.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freezer-Friendly: This bread freezes beautifully! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • Add-Ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. You can also mix in raisins or dried cranberries.
  • Glaze Option: Drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled bread for extra sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes! You can replace up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist. Just note that the bread may be a bit denser.

What other spices can I add?
In addition to cinnamon, you can add a pinch of nutmeg, allspice, or cardamom for more warm flavors.

Can I make this bread without the crumble topping?
Absolutely! The bread is delicious on its own, but the crumble adds a nice texture. If you prefer, you can skip it and still have a fantastic loaf.

How do I keep the bread from becoming too dense?
Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined for a light, fluffy bread.

Can I use applesauce instead of fresh apples?
You can use applesauce for a softer texture, but the bread may not have the same chunkiness and slight tartness from fresh apples.

Tips and Notes

  • My Tip: If you want a little more moisture and sweetness, you can add an extra tablespoon or two of applesauce to the batter along with the apples.
  • Pro Trick: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart. It slices much more cleanly when fully cooled.
  • Serving Suggestion: Toast a slice and slather it with butter or cream cheese for an extra indulgent treat.

Variations

  • Apple Cinnamon Muffins: Turn this bread into muffins by dividing the batter into a lined muffin tin. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes.
  • Cinnamon Apple Streusel Bread: Add more crumble topping to create a thicker streusel layer for extra crunch.
  • Caramel Apple Bread: Drizzle homemade or store-bought caramel sauce over the bread after it cools for a caramel apple twist.
  • Healthy Cinnamon Apple Bread: Replace the butter with coconut oil or applesauce, and use honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar for a healthier version.
  • Gluten-Free Apple Bread: Substitute the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make the bread gluten-free.

Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes (Cloud-Like Breakfast Treat!)

by Maria

Light, airy, and irresistibly fluffy, these Japanese Soufflé Pancakes are like biting into a soft cloud. Unlike traditional pancakes, these beauties rise high with a delicate texture that melts in your mouth. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, they may look fancy, but with the right tips, you can make them easily at home. Whether topped with powdered sugar, fruit, or syrup, these soufflé pancakes will wow your family and friends!

Why You’ll Love These Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes

  • Incredibly Light and Airy: The whipped egg whites give these pancakes their signature fluffiness.
  • Beautiful Presentation: These tall pancakes look like they came straight from a café.
  • Customizable: Pair with fruit, syrup, or whipped cream for endless options.
  • Fun to Make: Master the technique, and you’ll have a show-stopping breakfast treat.
  • Perfect for Special Occasions: Ideal for birthdays, holidays, or weekend brunches.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tbsp (25g) sugar
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60g / 0.13 lb) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar or lemon juice (to stabilize egg whites)
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan
  • Powdered sugar, fruit, or syrup for serving

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. Separate the Eggs:
    Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean, dry bowl.
  2. Make the Yolk Mixture:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and stir until just combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

  1. Beat the Egg Whites:
    Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar (or lemon juice) and gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat.
  2. Whip to Stiff Peaks:
    Increase the speed to high and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. The meringue should be glossy and hold its shape when you lift the beaters.

Step 3: Combine the Mixtures

  1. Fold in the Egg Whites:
    Add one-third of the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold to lighten the batter. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Preheat the Pan:
    Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. For best results, use ring molds to help the pancakes hold their shape.
  2. Add the Batter:
    Spoon the batter into the ring molds, filling them about halfway. Cover the pan with a lid to trap steam and help the pancakes rise.
  3. Cook Low and Slow:
    Cook the pancakes over low heat for 5-6 minutes, until bubbles start to form on the surface. Carefully flip the pancakes (keeping them in the molds) and cook for another 3-4 minutes until fully set.
  4. Remove from Molds:
    Gently remove the ring molds and transfer the pancakes to a plate.

Step 5: Serve

Dust the pancakes with powdered sugar, top with fruit, or drizzle with maple syrup. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Use Low Heat: Cooking the pancakes over low heat ensures they cook evenly without burning.
  • Stabilize the Meringue: Adding cream of tartar or lemon juice helps the egg whites hold their shape.
  • Ring Molds: If you don’t have ring molds, use greased aluminum foil rings or cut parchment paper into strips to shape the pancakes.
  • Don’t Overmix: Fold the egg whites into the batter gently to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Reheat Tips: If making in advance, warm the pancakes in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these pancakes without ring molds?
Yes! You can spoon the batter directly onto the skillet, but the pancakes may spread more. For tall pancakes, molds work best.

How do I know when the pancakes are done?
Gently press the top of a pancake—it should spring back lightly when done. If it feels too soft, cook for another minute or two.

Can I make these pancakes dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk.

What toppings work best?
Fresh berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of honey or syrup make great toppings.

Can I freeze these pancakes?
It’s best to enjoy them fresh, but you can freeze leftovers. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Tips and Notes

  • My Tip: For an extra-tall pancake stack, make multiple small pancakes and layer them!
  • Pro Trick: Warm the ring molds before adding the batter to help the pancakes rise evenly.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with a hot cup of coffee or matcha latte for a café-style breakfast at home.

Variations

  • Chocolate Soufflé Pancakes: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter for a rich chocolate twist.
  • Matcha Pancakes: Mix in a teaspoon of matcha powder for a vibrant green tea flavor.
  • Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes: Add lemon zest to the batter and top with fresh blueberries.
  • Savory Pancakes: Skip the sugar and vanilla, and add cooked bacon and cheese to the batter for a savory twist.
  • Peanut Butter Pancakes: Drizzle peanut butter over the pancakes for a deliciously indulgent breakfast.

If you’re worried about runny yolks, try scrambling the eggs instead or cook them over-medium.

What’s the best way to freeze these sandwiches?
Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.

Better Than Starbucks Egg Bites

Why You’ll Love These Better Than Starbucks Egg Bites

  • Soft and Custardy: Blending the eggs with cheese and milk makes them perfectly creamy.
  • Great for Meal Prep: Store them in the fridge or freezer for quick breakfasts all week.
  • Customizable: Add your favorite mix-ins—bacon, veggies, or cheese.
  • Budget-Friendly: Make a whole batch at home for a fraction of the cost.
  • Easy to Reheat: Just pop them in the microwave for a fast breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120g / 0.26 lb) cottage cheese or ricotta
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk (or half-and-half)
  • ½ cup (55g / 0.12 lb) shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Bacon or sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • Spinach or kale, chopped
  • Diced bell peppers or tomatoes
  • Green onions or herbs, for garnish

Better Than Starbucks Egg Bites

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or silicone mold.
  2. Blend the Eggs and Cheese:
    In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese (or ricotta), milk, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy—this step gives the egg bites their soft, custardy texture.
  3. Add Mix-Ins:
    If using any mix-ins, distribute them evenly into the greased muffin cups or molds. You can mix and match flavors, like bacon and cheddar, or spinach and mozzarella.
  4. Pour the Egg Mixture:
    Pour the blended egg mixture over the mix-ins, filling each cup about ¾ of the way.
  5. Bake:
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly puffed. They’ll deflate as they cool, which is perfectly normal.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

  • Storage Tips: Store egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating Instructions: Microwave refrigerated egg bites for 30-40 seconds or frozen ones for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk and skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
  • Extra Creamy: Add a spoonful of cream cheese to the egg mixture for an even richer bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use egg whites only?
Yes! Swap 2 large eggs for ½ cup of egg whites if you prefer.

How do I make these without a blender?
You can whisk the ingredients together by hand, but the blender gives them that signature smooth texture.

What if I don’t have a silicone mold?
A regular muffin tin works great—just be sure to grease it well, or use paper liners.

Can I use other cheeses?
Absolutely! Try Parmesan, feta, or pepper jack for a new flavor twist.

How do I prevent the egg bites from sticking?
Using a silicone mold is the easiest way to ensure they pop out easily. If using a metal muffin tin, grease it generously or use non-stick spray.

Tips and Notes

  • My Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra cheese or herbs on top before baking.
  • Pro Trick: Place a baking dish with water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. This adds steam, keeping the egg bites soft and preventing cracks.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with avocado toast or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.

Variations

  • Veggie Delight: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach for a vegetarian option.
  • Meat Lover’s: Use crumbled sausage, bacon, or ham for a protein-packed version.
  • Southwest Style: Add black beans, salsa, and pepper jack cheese for a Tex-Mex twist.
  • Herbed Feta: Use crumbled feta, dill, and sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean vibe.
  • Spicy Jalapeño: Add chopped jalapeños and cheddar for a bit of heat.

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, and vanilla extract.

Yes, but the texture may be softer. Rolled oats work best for a chewy texture.

Toss the diced apples in a little lemon juice if you want to prevent browning before baking.

Can I skip the nuts?
Of course! If you’re avoiding nuts, simply leave them out or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
