Just in time for your busy holiday season, I have the easiest breakfast casserole recipe for you! When I found this…
…gluten-free brioche at Trader Joe’s, I was giddy. GIDDY! I bought several loaves, put them in the freezer and now, we can easily enjoy our favorite breakfast casseroles safely at home. I asked Kensington what she wanted to make with our first loaf and she said “something with just cheese and a lot of bacon”. Hmmmm…sounded easy and very delish!
This is what I used…
and whipped up this…
It was so easy and my family loved it! Bonus, if you’re looking for something to pop in the oven on Christmas morning, this would be delicious and you can even make it the day before and just keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake! #winning
Happy breakfast time!!

Cheesy Bacon Brioche Breakfast Casserole
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 45 minutes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 8 to 10 1x
Description
A quick and delicious breakfast casserole everyone will love! Bonus, it only gets better if you make it the day before and let it sit overnight in the fridge. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of brioche, torn into bite-sized pieces (we use Trader Joe’s g-free brioche)
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups of milk
- a big pinch of both salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown mustard
- 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese (we love the Swiss & Gruyere mix!)
- 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound of bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces (uncooked!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease (I use Pam) a 9×12 baking dish.
- Add your bite-sized pieces of Brioche to the bottom of your baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk up your eggs with a fork and then stir in your milk, salt, pepper, brown mustard, and both cheeses. Next, stir in your chopped bacon.
- Pour this mixture down over your bread and either cover it and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake or bake it right then. This will bake about 45 minutes or until the edges are browned and the center is set (not wobbly).
- Allow the casserole to rest about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
We keep this gluten-free by using a g-free brioche. If you can’t find brioche, you can substitute with six large croissants or a loaf of Challah.

I love so many of your recipes! Do you have any breakfast casseroles that don’t contain eggs? I only have one in my rotation and it’s grits, bacon, and cheese all baked up. Also love your helpful gift guides and Tj finds. Thanks so much!

Hmmmm…I actually think all of mine contain eggs. I have some with no milk, but unfortunately, I don’t think I have one without eggs. I will jot that note down!
Jennifer Maynard says
I second this request. I just don’t love eggs so would love something for breakfast without them 🙂

This looks like a keeper, making note to try out next week at my ladies brunch! And for next year, if you didn’t try it this season, the TJ pumpkin brioche makes the best french toast ever, My husband was crushed when it sold out!

Thanks so much Shay! We have it in the oven right now 🙂 I went to college in Denton, Texas at UNT and am now back home in Toronto, Canada. I feel like Texas is now in my kitchen!

This looks delicious, I’d love to try it. Brown mustard isn’t readily available in Australia. Could I substitute with Dijon or wholegrain mustard?
Mix and Match Mama says
Absolutely! Either would work beautifully!
Rachel Hurt says
Did you use thick cut bacon or just the regular?
Mix and Match Mama says
Just regular!
