Breakfast SlidersAre you trying to make a habit of eating a good breakfast more often, but having a tricky time making it a reality? There’s a solution for it and it comes down to what you can make ahead of time. We’re talking low-effort, big-impact breakfasts that deliver a week of meals (sometimes more!), that you can pull together in a single cooking session.
Finding breakfast options you actually look forward to eating and that can be made in advance takes the guesswork out of what to make first thing in the morning and has to the potential to save lots of time. If you like things on the sweeter side, try DIY yogurt cups, breakfast pops, baked breakfast squares, or overnight oats. Or, if you prefer a savory breakfast, try a veggie frittata, freezer-friendly breakfast burritos, or croissant breakfast sandwiches
To get you started, here are 40+ big-batch breakfasts you can make ahead.
Eggs and Egg Sandwiches
Eggs are a workhorse ingredient when it comes to big-batch breakfasts. Turn them into casseroles, frittatas, and sandwiches and you won’t be disappointed.
