5 Amish Breakfast Casseroles For Christmas Morning

Jump to Recipe

Breakfast casserole recipes are a dime a dozen but really good ones are more rare.   This is more a matter of opinion but having tasted many through the years it seems like the secret to a good casserole is "balance."  You don't want one too heavy on meat, too heavy on egg, you want just the right blend of eggs, meat, spices, and sauce, here are some of our best ones from the Amish archives!

AUTHENTIC AMISH BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

This is very basic, but basic is good and this one is straight from an Amish cook's recipe box in her own hand. Click here.

CLASSIC AMISH BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

This is a comfort food classic that differs from the above by offering up just a little bit more in the way of spice/seasonings, more common among the New Order Amish. Click here for the recipe.

BARN-RAISING BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

This one adds some hearty twists and would probably be my pick for a Christmas morning casserole! Check this out here.

SAUSAGE AND PANCAKE CASSEROLE

Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm...take that back, this might be my pick and you could easily do a vegetarian version with veggie links.  Click here.

And this recipe comes to us from Lorene Yoder an Amish cook in Oklahoma, a little bit more involved, but interesting!

BREAKFAST BURRITO CASSEROLE

I've mentioned before an Amish affinity for meat "smokies"...curiously this recipe has them in the ingredients, but never says what to do with them in the instructions so either leave them out or experiment.  Either way, this recipe - because of those  and the soups - is quintessentially Amish.
