💭 Tips For Making Fall Breakfasts

I have so many ways to transform any ordinary breakfast into delicious fall-time treats. These are a few of my top tips for making cozy and comforting autumn breakfasts.

  1. Use seasonal ingredients: Popular fall fruits like apples, pears, cranberries, and pumpkin instantly give baked goods that 'fall-feel.'
  2. Warm flavors: Warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, mace, star anise, cardamom, and ginger are autumn essentials if you ask me. Be brave and try a dash of ground black pepper, too! Apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, lebkuchengewurz, and garam masala are great blends to keep on hand. Pair these spices with the seasonal fruits above for an instant fall treat.
  3. Pumpkin: Canned pumpkin is a quintessential fall ingredient. I use it in pancakes, waffles, muffins, and even pumpkin spice lattes. You can check out more of my favorite pumpkin recipes here!
  4. Prepare in advance: Prepping ingredients the night before makes the mornings run smoothly and saves time. For example, if I were making pancakes, I would prep the batter, slice and/or pan fry the fruit, and refrigerate until morning.

  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and drop the cubes of cream cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar over the top. Return to the oven and continue baking for 10-20 minutes, or until the center has set.

  • Prepare this casserole the day before by making the egg mixture, pouring it into the baking dish, and topping it with the cubed cream cheese. Then, store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. 
  • To store: Allow the casserole to cool completely before covering and storing it in the fridge for 3-4 days. 
  • To freeze: Tightly wrap the casserole once cooled with plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. This casserole can be frozen for up to 1 month.
