I had a MOPS meeting today and I signed up to bring a hot dish. I had no idea what to make so I turned to Pinterest for inspiration. I typed in "MOPS" and saw lots of ideas for great breakfast dishes. I stumbled upon one that looked simple and I had already had the ingredients on hand. I think we have a winner with this easy breakfast casserole! For more breakfasts casserole ideas check out this Sausage Breakfast Casserole.

I found the recipe for Mimi's Christmas Breakfast on Confessions of a Former Couch Potato. I am so happy to have discovered this blog. She has so many yummy recipes and great ideas. Please stop by and see for yourself.

Here is my version of of Mimi's Christmas Breakfast.

Easy Breakfast Casserole

This dish uses a 9x13 casserole pan. If you get on with a cover and carrier, it is easy to bring with your to a gathering.

The number of bread slices you use will depend on the type of bread. I used a smaller wheat bread and 7 slices was enough to cover the pan. If you have larger slices of bread, you will use less.

After you have added your bread slices, it is time to spread on some yummy cheese.

Then the eggs and milk get poured over the casserole.

The crumbled bacon gets spread on top before you put this in the oven.

You can bake this as soon as it's assembled, or refrigerate overnight and bake it in the morning. I love having breakfast assembled already on those busy mornings.

I pulled this out of the oven, popped a lid on it, put it in my Anchor carrier and left. This was at 8:30 AM. The breakfast casserole was served an hour later at the MOPS meeting, still warm and yummy.

This easy breakfast casserole would be great to bring to a potluck, a meeting, or just for a special breakfast at home. I just love that you can make it the night before and just pop it in the oven.
