What’s in a Breakfast Bake?

BREAD Sweet cubes of cinnamon bread are layered with other ingredients for a classic French toast bake with a twist!

FRUIT A sweet mix of carrots & pineapple is dotted with sweet raisins. So colorful for Easter, and super tasty!

CREAM CHEESE With a citrusy cream cheese mixture, this is one breakfast bake that truly has it all!

EGGS & SWEETENER It’s all smothered in a creamy mixture made from eggs, milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Storing it overnight lets the liquid gets soaked into the bread and softens the raisins.

TOPPING This Easter Breakfast is baked to crispy perfection with a topping of pecans, coconut, and even more brown sugar.

Variations

What’s so fun about this recipe is that it’s so versatile! Get creative with this Easter season classic, it’s so good.

Instead of raisins, try dried cherries, cranberries, or chopped dried apricots.
Switch out the pecans for walnuts, and use shredded sweet potatoes instead of carrots.
Add a handful of mini chocolate chips or coconut to the topping, too!
