Sarasota’s Favorite Breakfast Casserole, OK, there are hundreds of recipes out there and all pretty similar This is mine One night around 9pm a friend called and said that he and his wife and family were passing through town and would love to stop and take me to breakfast Well they have 4 kids, and I know they are strapped for cash, so I wanted to do something for them I decided on this breakfast casserole dish, bacon on the side, fresh squeezed OJ, fresh fruit and yogurt make your own parfaits (kid friendly), and coffee I also threw in a bag of baked cinnamon chips and fruit mix to take on the road for the kids The casserole is so quick to put together, but it needs to to set overnight In the am, just pop in the oven, bake and serve My original recipe is made with ham, but you could use bacon or sausage I even cheated by buying a small bag of pre-diced ham right in the meat aisle, but using leftover ham or just buy a slice of good baked ham at your grocers deli and dice it This was all about easy and quick used the Ore Ida frozen diced potatoes O’Brien which simply has peppers and onions in with the potatoes But if you can’t find those, you can dice your own peppers and onions and add them This is a perfect breakfast casserole NOTE: Prep Time includes overnight in the refrigerator , Another winner from Sarasota! I made this exactly as posted, using the O’Brien potatoes, diced ham, sharp cheddar, etc This was so simple to put together, and resulting in a very filling, hearty breakfast I’m not a fan of breakfast stratas and the like, and this was a great alternative without all the bread The potatoes were a really nice touch and the crescent roll top crust was just the right amount of bread I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing Made for My 3 Chefs 2013

Crescent Rolls -- Remove the Rolls from the Can and Lay Flat. Make Sure to Add a Little Little Flour to the Counter or on a Sheet of Parchment Paper So They Don't Stick. I Take a Pizza Cutter or a Knife and Cut the Dough Along the Perforated Sections. the Rolls Come Out in a Rectangle So I Try to Lay Them Right Back on the Casserole the Same Way. Cutting the Perforations Allows Steam to Get Through the Crust Which Will Help Brown the Crust and Help the Casserole Finish Cooking. |

Serve -- Cut Into Squares and Enjoy. If You Want to Really Make It Special, Serve a Hollandaise Sauce Along the Side, but I Like It as Is. Again, You Can Use Bacon or Sausage in This Recipe, I Just Prefer the Ham and Usually Serve Up Some Crisp Maple Glazed Bacon on the Side. Enjoy! |
