With the holiday season behind us, it’s time to get back to our regular routines. That can seem like a tall order, especially getting started in the morning. It’s tempting to cut corners to save time, often by skipping breakfast.

We know breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day. Ask any school teacher if a child that’s hungry does well learning math or history. The same holds true for adults. Luckily, Dinner Reinvented’s Roni Proter comes to the rescue with her Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole. —Editor

“Fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, earthy sausage and indulgent puff pastry make this Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole the ultimate make-ahead breakfast,” she says. “If you know me at all, you know I’m not a great planner, I’m often late and it’s not uncommon for me to rush  in the mornings. Mondays I try and get the week off to a good start by packing my boys’ lunches the night before, and having a yummy breakfast made.

On weekend mornings I make a big batch of something yummy, chocolate chip pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, or this breakfast casserole so I can just reheat it on weekday mornings and still give my kids a wholesome meal.”
