We all want to start our morning with a tasty, filling breakfast but some days are just too busy to spend enough time in the kitchen preparing a suitable meal. Whether you’re looking to stock your refrigerator or freezer with some quick meal prep breakfast options or searching for the perfect centerpiece to serve at a brunch party, we have just the dish. These make-ahead breakfast dishes can all be prepped in advance to save time in the morning. Breakfast casseroles full of cheesy goodness, fluffy pancake creations, handy portable sandwiches… there are so many different ways to prep breakfast in a snap.

These easy breakfast sandwiches are packed with veggies and full of gooey melted Swiss cheese. The eggs bake on a sheet tray so you can just cut to size during assembly. Wrap each sandwich and freeze to give yourself an ace in the hole for a future breakfast.

Toasted pecans and cinnamon make for a delicious topping on a stack of buttermilk pancakes. Instead of individual servings, you can layer the pancakes in a baking dish to be transformed into a decadent, gooey casserole. Pour a warm pecan-maple syrup over the top to serve.

Instead of painstakingly stirring oatmeal on the stove, this recipe soaks oats overnight to create a breakfast that’s grab-and-go. Choose from one of three flavor options, from spiced mango to chocolate hazelnut to strawberry banana. To easily make the recipe dairy-free, simply swap the yogurt for a coconut yogurt and the milk for your favorite nut or oat milk.

The best kind of breakfasts are hearty yet healthy. Combine kale with mozzarella, Gruyere and cubes of crusty sourdough to make this killer casserole that can feed up to 8 people. The whole thing can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance to save time in the morning.
