Sausage and Spinach Breakfast Casserole with Poached Eggs

Spinach and Sausage Breakfast Casserole with Poached Eggs3

 

I love breakfast, I eat it every day.

Saturdays and Sundays I always make it an ordeal, several dishes, coffee, juice, and my husband and I chat, lingering over the last bits of the meal. I love it because I almost never blog about it, so it’s not "work," it’s whatever I want to make. I love that we both just want to sit and talk to each other, long after my daughter has powered down her bacon and eggs and started to torture the dog with dress up clothes.

I especially love when I have breakfast guest, which is rare. They always offer to help, assure me that they are fine with just toast or cereal, but I love that I get to include more people in this weekend ritual we have at the house of Team Dodd. This was a breakfast guest meal that I will make again. I made it for my Mother in Law, who loved it so much she wrote down the ingredients on the inside cover of her crossword book before I could assure her that I would post it. It’s easy to throw together the night before, giving you more time to spend with your breakfast guest. Or to make Bloody Marys. You should make Bloody Marys.

I love breakfast casseroles, but never thought to put the eggs on it afterwards in order to have those beautiful runny yolks that I love so much!

Weekend breakfasts really are the best! We have a no camera rule for those kind of meals, and it really makes them so much more meaningful because we’re cooking just for us. Remember that!? Haha. Love this casserole, Jackie! I hope you’ll make it for me when I come visit 😉

Weekends are meant for long leisurely breakfasts. And this casserole fits into that category.

This is gorgeous…Paul would love it! And I love your breakfast tradition. We love weekend breakfasts too…except that is usually when he cooks and I just get to sit down and drink coffee and I love it!

Hey, any time there’s egg dripping down the side of something… I’m all over it. It’s like "built in sauce." Can’t wait to see you at BlogHerFood next week! Partay!

I miss the days when I can just cook to cook – no blogging, no photos, no recipe developing – just having fun in the kitchen!

So now this casserole looks to die for, especially with that dripping yolk. Now when can I come over for breakfast? 🙂
