How to Make Easter Breakfast Recipes

I have always collected and learned how to make Easter breakfast recipes. This is the one day of the year when the holiday began with a wonderful breakfast. We would get up very early in the morning and get dressed to go to church for the sunrise service. After the service, many of the church members would come to my house for breakfast. I planned this celebration breakfast for a month before Easter.


When I was learning how to make my Easter breakfast recipes, they had to be ones which could be prepared ahead of time so that I could be at the sunrise service. After the service I would rush home and have everything ready on the table waiting for my guests to arrive. This was made possible by preparing most of the food the days before Easter. All the rolls, cakes, breads, pies and other baked goods were finished up on the Saturday before Easter.

I learned how to make my Easter breakfast recipes  to always include one or more casserole recipes. These I would bake the night before or early in the morning while I was getting dressed for church. Anything that needed to be served hot that I cooked or baked before Sunday, I would quickly heat up on the stove, microwave or oven. Funny, how it all came together!

A plate of mixed breakfast meats, sliced ham, bacon and sausages, go well with any of the Easter breakfast recipes below. All of the recipes will add to a nice buffet for your friends and family.
