Breakfast Casserole
I’m excited to bring you my second recipe to be featured on the Cooking New England blog, as a part of Yankee Magazine. But before I get to the recipe for Breakfast Casserole, I’d like to thank everyone for entering the Yankee Magazine giveaway – you guys had some great suggestions for recipes to try!
The lucky winnder of the prize package is Erin who suggested I make the Apple-Studded Brown-Butter Streusel Coffee Cake. Be sure to go check out my post about the Breakfast Casserole – it’s a great breakfast dish to serve when you have visitors staying overnight. You prepare the casserole the night before and then just bake and serve!

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
This has been a great hit this winter in “ski country” –easy to make with (pretty) easy ingredients to have on hand (once you buy the bag of sliced almonds, frozen cranberries, and almond extract!)
First time I made it as written. Delicious but very strong almond flavor. Second time I reduced the 1/2 c sugar on the cranberries to 1/4 cup, sub’d fine cornmeal for 1/2 the flour and reduced the almond extract by half. Pretty tart but almost all my friends liked it better (and if you want it sweeter you can add the whipped cream or ice cream…) and it is a nice counterpoint on a dessert buffet of sweeter brownies and cookies.
Thanks for the recipe! Hope you are doing well in Ohio.

So glad you’ve enjoyed this. I loved how simple it was to make! Almond extract definitely has a strong flavor, so I can see cutting it down for sure! Ohio is treating us well so far.
