Potluck Sunday ~ Weekend Company Breakfast Casserole

Today is Potluck Sunday at Mommy's Kitchen. Our Spring Break is just about over and I don't know where the time has went. We did manage to go to the park a and make a trip to the zoo since the weather was so beautiful. So we did get to do a few things together. Today I have a house party planned and the weather stinks we are expected to get some snow, really!! On Friday we had a sun shiny 72 degrees and now we dropped 38 degrees overnight to a rainy 34 and possible snow.

You know what they say about the weather in Texas if you don't like it just stick around because it will always change. I had a different recipe planned for this weeks Potluck Sunday. Some of you follow me on Face book so you might remember me talking about a new overnight breakfast casserole yesterday. Well I got so many responses and requests that I decided to make this today's recipe post.

Today I am bringing a Weekend Company Breakfast Casserole to today's potluck. This is what we had for breakfast on the day of our zoo trip. I wanted a quick and easy breakfast so we could get a early start. You assemble this casserole the night before so there is really nothing to it in the morning. I found this recipe in The Deen Brothers new magazine Get Cooking. When I glanced through the magazine this recipe just popped out at me. I am so glad I made it because it was a big hit in our house.

Now it's your turn. Do you have a recipe you'd like to bring to the potluck? If so then please link directly to your post, not your homepage, and please include a link back to Mommy's Kitchen. It's as easy as that. I cant wait to see all the yummy dishes you will be bringing. I have provided MckLinky at the end of this post so you can link up. Here is the recipe for The Deen Brothers wonderful breakfast casserole.

assemble the casserole the night before. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours. In the morning uncover casserole and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake casserole 45-50 or until casserole is set. Cover with aluminum foil to prevent over browning. If necessary.

Let casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. Always check egg and cheese bakes 15 minutes before they are done and cover them to prevent over browning.


I am also including a photo of what I woke up to this morning. I guess the weather man was right. SNOW!! I covered up the garden so hopefully everything will survive. Next year I might wait till the end of March to start planting. This never happens in Texas LOL.
