Easy breakfast recipes are needed for hectic holiday mornings. We seem to get so caught up with shopping, meal planning, baking, and everything else to do with the holidays, that breakfasts can take a back seat. Easy breakfast recipes, or ones that can be prepared ahead of time, can be helpful this time of year.
A lot of people have guests staying with them over the holidays. In that case, breakfasts can become a lot of work to plan. I don’t know about you, but I like to plan ahead as much as possible. That way I can spend more time enjoying my guests, and not get so overwhelmed with preparing food non-stop.
I am also making a serious effort to plan breakfasts more often in the new year. So often Mike and I do not have a good breakfast due to lack of time. Planning ahead is the key. Thanks to several of my brilliant blogger friends, I have this roundup of amazing breakfast ideas for you.
Easy Breakfast Recipes for Busy Mornings
Breakfast casseroles, bakes, quiches, muffins, and more for meals you can plan the day before. Either have breakfast options waiting on the table for your guests, or fire up the oven to awake the house with a delicious aroma. The key is to have most of the prep work already done so the morning isn’t so rushed.

December 30, 2014 at 9:33 pmThanks so much for sharing these delicious east Breakfast Recipes! I really loved the recipe for Overnight Praline French Toast! WOW! That looks absolutely Delicious!!! I love French Toast, however, making it this way looks much more tastier! I have written down the recipe (my printer is broken again!) and I am definitely going to try this! I do have some pecans and I have the other ingredients except for the half and half! Other than picking that up, I’m ready! I can’t wait to give these a try! I’m sure that the family will just love these! Thanks again! I truly appreciate it! Michele 🙂
