This is my go-to egg casserole for brunches and one of my favorite party recipe ideas. Mostly because the consistency is not too eggy or too dry.

And my husband loves this English muffin breakfast casserole.

Over the years, I’ve made some modifications to the original recipe.
I hope you enjoy it.

It’s also a lifesaver on mornings where you know you’d like to offer something hearty but also know that you’ll have no desire, think Christmas, New Year’s and the first morning after the in-laws arrive.

Mix it up the night before and stick it in the fridge.

Put a note on the couch or the TV that the first person up is in charge of getting it into the oven.

With any luck, breakfast might be waiting when YOU wake up.
