I can’t tell you how many times I have Googled “make ahead breakfast casserole” searching for a great recipe I could make the day ahead for the time when we have had house guests.
Susanne (my Tiny Oranges partner who also happened to go to culinary school which is why I refer to her as Your Sus Chef!) sent me this amazing recipe for a goat cheese, sausage & artichoke breakfast strata that I made for the day after Thanksgiving and it was A-MAZING!
Tuck this one away for the holidays mamas! I am also making it this week for a Moms’ Group brunch potluck. Here is the recipe from Susanne…
This recipe is great because it’s make ahead, & perfect for feeding a crowd over the Holidays. Feel free to play around with the different flavors as long as you keep the measurements about the same. For example: pancetta instead of sausage, mushrooms instead of artichokes & sage instead of thyme, or whatever you dream up!
WARNING: This dish is rich & delicious! Perfect for Holiday decadence. Pair with some fresh sliced fruit to lighten up the meal~
