A breakfast casserole takes a little time
to prepare but it
can be done the evening before then refrigerated. Pop it in
the oven in the morning for 45 minutes while everyone is
getting ready and you have a quick and nutritious breakfast!
- 6 slices bread - no crusts
- ½ stick margarine
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese - shredded
- 5 eggs - beaten will with mixer
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 pound hot sausage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Cook sausage and drain well. Melt margarine in 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Tear bread in pieces and sprinkle over margarine. Sprinkle drained sausage, cooked well done, over bread crumbs. Sprinkle cheese over sausage. Beat eggs with half-and-half and salt; pour over mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes. Serve with blueberry muffins and cantaloupe.

Set the breakfast table the night before, even if it's only for juice and cereal.
French toast is another quick and easy breakfast, and a sure kid-pleaser. Add a little cinnamon to the egg batter for variety. Cut into shapes for younger children.
Keep pancake or waffle batter in the refrigerator, ready to pour on the griddle.
If you like to bake, you might keep a supply of muffins in the freezer, ready to warm in the microwave.
Try making your own nutritious granola and granola bars.
Quesadillas or breakfast burritos just might appeal to the "grab-it-and-run" types.
Pizza for breakfast? English muffin pizzas sprinkled with cheese and microwaved are a hit with most kids.
Almost anything can be sandwiched in a
biscuit: scrambled
eggs, sausage patty, a small chicken patty, or a slice of
ham with cheese melted on top are just a few ideas.
