When you think about making a special breakfast for your family or invited guests, do your first thoughts go to eggs, bacon and pancakes? Have you ever thought about lasagna? We didn’t think so!
For holidays and special occasions such as the upcoming Easter holiday, you might want to break the habit of being a short order cook and try this delicious Breakfast Lasagna. This unique dish is packed with great flavors and ingredients that will keep your family or guest’s appetites satisfied for a good portion of the day. It can also be made the night before and finished in the oven in the morning saving you precious time to enjoy your morning.
Gather up your ingredients the day before. You can boil your eggs and fry your bacon 24 hours in advance to save yourself some time.
Prepare your white sauce, pour into the lasagna pan and start layering your ingredients according to the directions.
Finish up with pouring the rest of the white sauce on top of the mozzarella cheese and sprinkling the top with Parmesan cheese.
Pop in the oven and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until brown and bubbly on top and garnish with parsley if desired.
Time to pour a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy!
