Do I have to use a bundt pan for this breakfast casserole recipe?

This breakfast casserole is made in a bundt pan but if you wanted to use a casserole dish you certainly could. The most important thing to consider when you are making this casserole recipe in another style of pan is that the cooking time changes depending on the pan. Just be sure to check the casserole to make sure it isn’t getting overdone or is done enough.

Is this a good make-ahead breakfast casserole?

I love it when I can make breakfast ahead. It saves me time in the mornings but also gives my family a warm meal to start their day. All you have to do is prepare as directed right up to the time you pop it into the oven.  Instead of baking, wrap it well and refrigerate until time to cook the following day.

You can also bake this completely, allow it to cool, then wrap individual servings and reheat them as needed in the microwave.  I prefer heating in 30-second increments until it is fully heated, so I don’t overcook it in the microwave.

Can I make this for a Christmas morning breakfast?

This is a great Christmas morning breakfast. Because you can make this breakfast ahead, you can combine everything the night before and then bake it in the morning when you are ready. This makes it a simple Christmas breakfast that lets you have a great tasting savory breakfast without keeping you away from the family.
