Can you freeze breakfast casseroles?
Do you cover breakfast casserole when baking?
I bake this breakfast casserole uncovered.
Can you reheat a breakfast casserole?
When it’s time to reheat, allow the dish to come to room temperature before putting it into a hot oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a leftover egg-, potato- or meat-based breakfast casserole with a piece of foil so the moisture will not escape and to ensure even heating.

Did anyone have the issue of the milk and egg mixture seeping to/under the crescent roll dough? Half of my dough was able to get properly cooked, but the other half just looks & feels like a squishy nasty mess : ( I tried sealing the sides in a bit but I guess I didn’t realize how much I should have tried.

My husband made this for Christmas morning and we both love it. We enjoyed it so much that he is going to make it again for New Years morning but we are going to try it with ham and garlic and onion powder. I can’t wait!!

Substituted sausage for cooked bacon and added garlic & onion powder, salt and pepper.
It was good but next time I am going to try it with goetta.
