Lately, our days are packed full. There’s always something going on and a to-do list a mile long. I’m sure most of you can relate. That’s why I love this recipe so. It’s a delicious baked egg dish from the Pioneer Woman you can make the night before and just pop in the oven in the morning. You have this delicious homemade breakfast that didn’t take you 2 hours to make. Anything that saves me time during the A.M. hustle and bustle is a plus for me!
I made this for my Mother-in-law and Mamom (my Husband’s grandmother) for a Mother’s Day brunch. We brought her this dish with, cinnamon rolls, orange juice and champagne for mimosas and a couple bouquets of flowers. When planning the menu and deciding what to make my hubby suggested this and it turned out to be the perfect idea! Almost everyone had a second helping. It was a beautiful brunch, perfect for Mother’s Day.
Here’s how you can make it and sleep in 🙂
Get yourself 6 onion rolls. You can get these at your local grocery store baker. If you can’t find them there I also saw them down the bread aisle. Oroweat now makes them.
Tear all six into bite size pieces and throw in a generously buttered 9 x 13 baking dish.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese all over the top.
Tear the cream cheese into bite size pieces and distribute evenly over the dish. You could cut it up, but I like the rustic look 🙂
Now for the butter. Hey, I didn’t say this was healthy! Add the sliced butter right over the cream cheese.
In a separate bowl, crack in 10 eggs.
Add in milk and whisk together. Chop up some chives and throw those in too.
Add a little salt…
…and mustard powder.
Pour the egg mixture over the top. Be sure to get it in all the little crevices.
Top with foil and pop in the fridge overnight. You can leave it in there for up to 24 hours. Yes, I said 24 HOURS!!
Bake for 45 minutes with foil on. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes. Breakfast is served!

Haha! Thanks so much!
Great idea and not being a morning person I am definitely interested in this make before and sleep in concept! Instead of onion rolls would it be possible to use brioche or bread? I’m not sure if we have onion rolls over here… Thanks for sharing this lovely idea and recipe Sarah! 🙂
Yes brioche would work perfectly. If you want more onion flavor, just up the amount of chives 🙂
Yes, I was the lucky mother-in-law to have this delicious, outstanding Mothers Day breakfast!
It’s one of those “can’t stop eating” kind of dishes. Trust me, did you hear me? TRUST ME! This was so delicious and it reheats beautifully…….if there’s any left. Love you Sarah xox
Thank you! So happy you liked it 🙂
I completely understand what you’re experiencing. My days are pakced full for the next week and I am so in need of a break, some sleep, and something fun to eat lol. In that order lol. And I haven’t had onion rolls in such a long time. Then again, I’ve never been a huge bread eater. But this looks absolutely amazing Sarah. And this is so delicious.
