This cheesy baked ham and egg breakfast casserole has become a regular breakfast item over the past few months. It’s actually taken over for my baked oatmeal. Even with a family of four, we love having the leftovers in the fridge to use for leftovers. My daughter grabs a piece in the morning for breakfast, I like to have a piece with a side salad for lunch. It’s almost like a quiche. It’s DELICOUS!
So back to this Mother’s Day breakfast you’re going to make. Here are a few suggestions.
How to Make the Best Mother’s Day Morning for Mom
- Firstly, have a cup of hot coffee ready to go as soon as mom’s eyes open. This is a must!
- Make sure to serve the orange in a wine glass or other fancy glass you around the house. Bonus points for having chilled champagne to go with the orange juice. Add a few frozen strawberries or any other frozen berries you have on hand to make the drink look extra fancy.
- This cheesy baked ham and egg breakfast casserole takes between 30-45 minutes to cook so make sure you give yourself plenty of time before you need to serve it.
- Get some extra fresh fruit to serve along side the breakfast casserole. Strawberries or blueberries would be a great place to start but if your mom has a favorite you can go with those.
- Make it extra fancy by grabbing one of your cookie sheets if you don’t have a tray. Choose a pretty tea towel to make the cookie sheet pretty. Even the dollar store has a great selection of tea towels for you to choose from.
- Get some fresh flowers and place them in a vase or other pretty container. A mason jar works beautifully too. If wild flowers are an option, mom will be thrilled to pieces!
- Don’t forget the homemade Mother’s Day card with lots of X’s and O’s.
There you have it! The perfect way to start Mom’s special day. Now all you need to do is plan the rest of the day. Good luck!
