Savory Brunch Casseroles

Not only are brunch casseroles ideal for serving a crowd, but they’re all easy to make ahead. You can use just about any type of meat, vegetables, or cheese you have handy.

Sweet Brunch Casseroles

If your crowd skews toward the sweet side, you’re going to want to keep these easy casseroles on your radar, since they’re even better when made ahead of time. These casseroles can all be prepped the day before then stashed in the fridge, so all that’s left to do is pop it in the oven in the morning.

Quiches

Quiche is the perfect make-ahead brunch. Blind bake the crust up to 1 day in advance or bake the entire quiche 3 days before serving.

Baked Goods

When you need something that can be prepped and baked totally in advance, coffee cake, muffins, and scones are always a good idea.
