Make Ahead Breakfast Bakes
These Make Ahead Breakfast Bakes are perfect for back to school! Little cups of shredded hash browns, baked eggs, and whatever add-ins you like!
***Update October 2017: This is the #2 most popular recipe on Sugar Dish Me for 2 years running! It's been pinned hundreds of thousands of times and there are loads of great reader suggestions in the comments.
If you have tried these and have feedback I'd love to hear from you! Flavor combos that turned out great, problems you might have run into, questions you have -- it all helps me when I am working on new content for you!***
So I'm on kind of a breakfast kick lately. Which should actually come as no surprise to you since I do not try to hide the fact that I am basically in love with breakfast. Pizza, burgers, tacos, cake, and bourbon are all acceptable.
Anything goes in the morning! Especially if you #putaneggonit
Earlier this week we made Hawaiian Overnight Oats because sometimes mornings are cah-rayzayyy. And today I have these Make Ahead Breakfast Bakes!
These are easy and totally customizable -- you're gonna love 'em.
I peeled and then shredded a big baking potato with the help of a few of my favorite KitchenIQ tools (you can click to see my Potato Tool Review and this V-Etched Container Grater that I use every day of my life), put 'em in a muffin cup, and then added a few of my favorite veggies, a little cheese, and some lightly beaten eggs.
These things freeze well and microwave easily. Or they are great if you need to like... feed a soccer team at a 7 a.m. game or ward off hungry children at a sleepover.
You can get really creative with the flavor profiles here, just like you can with any omelet or egg dish.
Instead of the tomato + pepper + onion + cheddar you could try...
- diced tomato + onion + spinach + feta
- broccoli + cheddar
- bacon + spinach + cheddar jack
- mushrooms + onions + baby swiss
- ham + your favorite cheese
- crumbled sausage and cheddar

Do you LOVE Easy Make Ahead Breakfasts? You can also try...
is also a Sugar Dish Me reader fave! If you love biscuits, bacon, and cheese this casserole is everything. It can be assembled and refrigerated overnight making it perfect for any early morning gathering. Cheesy Hash Brown Breakfast Sliders are a big win with teenage boys. And husbands. Also me.
Hi would love to know...we don't own or use a microwave. How well do the hashbrown and egg bakes heat up in the oven once frozen?
Have you tried?
Looking forward to trying these. They look great for a take along on a ski weekend!
Thanks
Hi Liz! I don't have a microwave either!! I haven't tried heating these from frozen in the oven; I'm sure it will work but you will definitely have to play around with time and temperature to give you a crispy Breakfast Bake. One thing I KNOW works is the toaster oven (though I no longer have one of those either). Favorite method? Skillet on the stove with a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan. The water breaks the thaw and helps to heat it through. Then the bottom gets a little crisp once the water evaporates.
what's the serving size. how many egg muffins for 1 serving
Do you have the nutritional value for these
I will be reheating about 100 of these so a microwave won't work. How do you suggest reheating them? I have plenty of oven space and roaster ovens at my disposal.
Can you make these in mini muffin pans?
Sure can! It will probably adjust the baking time a bit so keep an eye on things.
If I wanted to take these camping what would be the best way to heat them up???
Hey Alyssa -- maybe wrap them in aluminum foil and reheat them over the coals? Have a fun camping adventure!
How long do they last in the fridge for?
Hey Emily - these are fine for a couple of days. Things don't last that long in my house so I am actually not sure. I'd say fridge for a couple of days and past that freeze 🙂
Could you use frozen hash browns instead of a freshly peeled potato?
Hi Shannon! Probably! But I haven't tried it.
Can you prep this the night before and then cook in the morning?
yes you sure can!
Can these be prepped the night before and refrigerated until the next morning to cook then?
I had the same issue of not being able to see the whole recipe on my mobile even if I scrolled down. Once I clicked comments to add a comment the rest of the recipe became visible. It was hidden by the picture on the mobile version.
Thanks for letting me know the specifics! I'll get that fixed right away!
Excellent dish . Thanks
The whole recipe is not there. Can you please fix it, looks like a great recipe
Hi Kristina, The whole recipe is DEFINITELY there. What kind of device are you using?
Entire recipe was not there. Only had up to beating the eggs. What's next?
Hey Beth - the entire recipe is totally there. Are you on a mobile device? Just scroll.
I checked again and it only goes to step 5 which is not complete. I did scroll down, but all that's there is more pictures and the comment section.
How long and temp. to cook?
Love breakfast receipes
How long should you microwave these
Hi Aleah! I don't have a microwave, and also - they are all different! It will also depend on if your bakes are refrigerated or frozen! Try to use the guide on the actual microwave to give you clues.
I've made a recipe like this in the past but have never used the potatoes. I microwaved frozen ones for about 20-30 sec on the top and 20-30 sec on the bottom.
