Christmas morning can be quite tricky when it comes to breakfast. The kids wake at the crack of dawn and want to immediately start opening and playing with their gifts and by the time you’re done with the gift giving and opening everyone is famished but doesn’t want to wait longer or have to dirty up the kitchen. That’s when a delicious recipe like this Overnight Sweet Potato & Sausage Breakfast Casserole comes in to save Christmas day.

My family has the tradition of eating Cinnamon Rolls and Quiche Christmas morning but I think I’m going to start making this Christmas Eve day.

This breakfast casserole is loaded with veggies and eggs making it a filling and healthy way to start the day. And I need something healthy because there’s no way I’m giving up my cinnamon rolls.

Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time50 mins
Total Time1 hr 5 mins
Servings: 12
Author: Garnish and Glaze

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 pound sausage
  • 4 teaspoons oil
  • 1 1/2 cups bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion, diced
  • 2 cups spinach, packed
  • 3/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cups French/Italian bread, 1/2 inch cubes
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk, (2% or whole)
  • 1 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese,, shredded

Instructions

  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Pout in the water and cover with lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fork tender, remove lid and cook until water evaporates and edges start to crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Remove from pan and add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil, bell peppers, and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Mix in the sweet potatoes, sausage, and tomatoes and set aside.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch pan and place bread cubes in the bottom.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and then mix in the milk, ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese. Pour half of the mixture evenly over the bread.
  • Layer the sausage and vegetable mixture on top of the bread and then pour remaining egg mixture on top. Cover with plastic wrap and let refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes uncovered. If it is browning too much on top, gently drape with foil and cook 10-15 more minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
