A good breakfast casserole is a working mom’s secret weapon for getting the family out the door in the morning with a full tummy. This breakfast casserole with sausage and cilantro is a variation on another one I frequently serve. The addition of canned biscuits makes is super simple!

One of the things I love about breakfast casseroles is that they’re great when you’re hosting guests. You prepare the dish the night before, cover with foil, and store in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, you can visit with your guests while breakfast cooks.
This casserole would also be good topped with sour cream, jalapeno peppers, or green chilies to complement the Mexican flavor of the cilantro. And if you don’t eat the whole pan – you’ve got leftovers for the next morning! That’s a huge benefit to breakfast casseroles in my book.

This looks like a great breakfast! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner Party!
My CSA gave us cilantro this week and I love it in eggs. Thanks for an awesome recipe
Hi Judee! I love cilantro and could put it on pretty much any dish these days. Jungle Jim makes a terrific Pico de Gallo that we just put on everything – it’s delicious on eggs too. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Mmmmm – I love cilantro! I’ll have to try this recipe!
Us too! We put cilantro on lots of dishes.
would parsley work (I have an aversion to cilantro). otherwise, this sounds great, especially when grown kids come to visit. It can do for breakfast or even a weekend lunch. how long can you let it sit unbaked in the refridg?
I hadn’t thought about parsley, but you never know till you try it. I’m always tweaking recipes anyway. Most of my breakfast casserole recipes just sit covered in the fridge over night. I usually put them together after supper then cook them the next morning.
Cilantro and I don’t get along but SAUSAGE!
I want to give this a try! The ingredients sounds wonderful!
Well, I think the best recipes are tweaked all the time anyway.
