This is an easy Easter brunch casserole that’s low in carbs—ideal if any of your guests are following the keto diet—yet high in flavor. Two types of cheese and a few spice cabinet staples, including dry mustard and garlic powder, make all the difference to elevate this quick and easy casserole to holiday-worthy territory.

Step 1: Stack the ingredients. Step 2: Set and forget overnight, as this Easter brunch recipe practically cooks itself for six to eight hours. Step 3: Slice and share the hash brown- and sausage-studded egg casserole, and prepare for the rave reviews to roll in. While you might expect this easy slow cooker recipe to feel a bit heavy, it’s light and springy once you toss in sun-dried tomatoes and top with fresh basil.

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

This big-batch biscuits and gravy is the ultimate Easter brunch casserole if you’re seeking a semi-homemade meal. No one will guess you scored the cheesy, sausage-spiked, buttered-biscuit deliciousness by starting with store-bought biscuits and a package of pork gravy mix. (Of course you can make homemade country gravy if you prefer—we’ll walk you through exactly how to do it!)

Pancake Casserole

Can’t decide between a sweet breakfast or a savory breakfast? Serve both! This fan-favorite brunch casserole combines the best parts of a stack of pancakes (maple syrup included) with bacon, egg, and cheese.

Tip: You can easily make this Easter brunch casserole vegetarian by simply omitting the bacon or trading in a plant-based bacon substitute.

Bacon Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free)

Baking Nana

This five-star crustless quiche is one of the best Easter brunch recipes to help you clean out your refrigerator. Any mix of sturdy raw or roasted vegetables will work well, although we’re fond of the original mix of bell peppers, mushrooms, potatoes, and onion. And remember that seasoned salt you stocked up? Dig it out to add a nice pop of flavor to this gluten-free meal.

Overnight Asparagus Mushroom Strata

“This is the most amazing breakfast I’ve ever had! Moist, tender, savory…sheer heaven in my mouth,” says Allrecipes member Kristi T.

Asparagus, mushrooms, and bell pepper lend garden-fresh flavors, while English muffin cubes, eggs, and Colby-Monterey Jack cheese make this a filling enough meal to balance out all the sugar from your Easter treats. To save time on the day of, layer it all together the night before and refrigerate until about an hour before brunch. Then just bake and enjoy! Feeling fancy? Top off your brunch casserole with thin slices of fresh tomato and a light sprinkle of your favorite fresh herb.

Easter Breakfast Casserole

This is a classic: a breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns, and Cheddar, all in one delicious dish. Take a tip from other reviewers and cook the hash browns first, for a little extra texture and flavor. You can assemble it ahead of time and bake it on Easter morning.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Transform almost-stale bread into something your family will be raving about for weeks with this easy overnight French toast casserole. Start with a hearty loaf—such as sourdough or whole grain—for best results, then allow the slices to sit out overnight (or briefly toast in the oven) to reach a texture that will soak up even more custardy goodness overnight. Berries and cream cheese join the mix, too, so this crowd-pleasing Easter brunch casserole tastes similar to stuffed French toast you might order at a fancy bistro.
