Friends, this is going to be your new go-to breakfast casserole!
Now that we’ve made it several times, my family keeps asking for it again and again. Bonus, IT’S SO EASY!!!
Seriously, you’ll be amazed by how quickly this recipe comes together.
Another bonus?
You can make it in advance!
Twice now, I’ve made this 24 hours in advance and let it sit in my fridge until I was ready to bake. It’s the perfect make ahead recipe for your busy weekend or holiday season.
If you’re worried about the heat, just use as much (or as little) chopped candied jalapenos as your family loves. We like things spicy, but you can modify and use less.
Now, what is a candied jalapeno? They’re right there in your grocery store next to the jarred deli jalapenos and pickles. Sometimes, they’re called “sweet” and other times “candied” but they’re milder than your typical jalapeno slices and almost always available in grocery stores.
Enjoy, friends! This recipe is delish!

This recipe is so easy to make in advance too! You can prepare this up to 24 hours in advance, cover in foil and let it hang out in your fridge until you’re ready to bake it off.

Fred says
What do we do with the green chilies. Didn’t see them in the instructions
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh goodness, I’ll correct that! They are added in with the cheese and jalapenos!

Just curious, now that you have a daughter with a gluten allergy, do you still make dishes like this at home? If so, do you make something separate for her? I’m always surprised to see so many of your recipes contain gluten still. Just curious. Thanks.
Mix and Match Mama says
Actually, I think this is the first recipe in a long, long, long time that has had gluten in it. I’ve re-posted some older recipes but as for new recipe content, it’s really almost exclusively g-free (which is why I’m posting fewer and fewer dessert recipes). We made this once at home with homemade gf biscuits (a recipe from a book we found, but they were dry and crumbly) and then once, with some frozen ones we purchased (they appeared more of a roll texture, not great), so the final times I made it, I made them with normal biscuits and served them at church and not home. When I made it for my party, I served it to my guests only.
Donna S says
Is there a way to make this recipe gluten free?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yup! Just sub the bread! Use your favorite gf biscuits, brioche, Challah, rolls…whatever you love!
Susan says
Do you recommend using the Trader Joe’s brioche to make this recipe gluten-free? Thanks
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!!! That’s my favorite gf bread for breakfast casseroles!
Janice Donahue says
Was wondering if you could use hash browns instead of biscuits
Mix and Match Mama says
You could! I think I prefer bread in this recipe, but you do what you want to do! I’m sure it will be great!
Chelsea says
This is so delicious!!!! I already made it for one event and everyone loved it! Several people reached out later asking for the recipe, too! ?
I’m going to make again, but this time the night before. Question, did you let it get to room temp before you put it in the oven? Or straight from fridge to oven?
Thanks so much for another delicious recipe! Merry Christmas!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!!!! Thank you so much for the feedback, Chelsea!!!! Merry Christmas!
