The Best Breakfast Casserole with Sweet Potatoes
I love a good egg and cheese casserole. This breakfast casserole is easy to prepare, I usually have the ingredients, or some version of it on hand and can it feed a big crowd.
When feeding a crowd, sometimes breakfast can be a tricky meal. So many breakfast items are quick to make but take your full attention. This Brunch casserole can be made ahead of time and can bake whenever you’re ready!
This is the best egg breakfast casserole recipe!
It’s made with simple ingredients but is pack with flavor! It has honey ham, sweet potatoes, red peppers, green onions, and dijon mustard. It’s truly a delicious combination!
Tips for preparing the best breakfast bake:
- Use the small shreds on your grater for your sweet potato. It takes a little more time but it will ensure your potatoes are fully cooked in your breakfast casserole.
- I love using red pepper in egg breakfast bakes. It adds so much color and the little bit of spice is delicious!
- Green onions are beautiful too. This casserole is going to taste the best if it can sit in the fridge overnight allowing the flavors to meld. If you’re in a time crunch and don’t have time for that, baking immediately will work too. You just may not get as much of that robust onion flavor.
- I used a combination of pepper jack and cheddar cheese. My family loves spicy food. In fact, half of them like to dump Tapatio or franks sauce on their eggs. If you have some kiddos that don’t like a little spice, just substitute the pepper jack cheese for all cheddar.
- Be sure to grease your baking dish. It’s going to make clean up much easier.
- The leftovers can be stored in the fridge and warmed up later.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, hot sauce or sliced avocados–whatever your family loves!
