Recipes Holidays and Events Recipes Christmas Christmas Breakfast Overnight Christmas Breakfast Casserole 4.7 (48) 34 Reviews 4 Photos I certainly cannot take credit for this Christmas breakfast casserole recipe as it's a classic. Some know it as wife saver, others would call it a strata. Make this tasty breakfast dish the night before and just pop it in the oven on Christmas morning; let it cook while you open gifts and sip your rum-spiked coffee!

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 16 slices bread, crusts removed - divided 16 slices Canadian bacon 16 slices sharp Cheddar cheese 6 large eggs ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dry mustard ¼ cup minced onion 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 dash hot sauce 3 cups whole milk ½ cup butter, melted 1 cup crushed corn flakes cereal Directions Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut and fit 8 slices of bread to fit over entire bottom of dish. Cover bread with slices of Canadian bacon and sharp Cheddar cheese. Cut and fit remaining 8 slices of bread to completely cover bacon and cheese. Whisk eggs with salt and black pepper in a bowl. Whisk dry mustard, onion, diced green and red bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce into eggs. Whisk in milk until egg mixture is smoothly combined. Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour melted butter evenly over the casserole and sprinkle corn flake crumbs over the top. Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Let casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. Cook’s Note There are lots of little things you can do to personalize this dish. I like using red and green bell peppers because they are Christmas colors but you could add spinach.I also use grated cheese and spread it over the Canadian bacon instead of cheese slices.
