It is spring and that means Easter and Mother’s Day are right around the corner and that means brunch! I love brunch at my house. Its a bit more relaxed than dinner and the menu can be a bit more forgiving-you can just throw what sounds good onto the table and no one questions it and most things can be made ahead of time. One of those make ahead dishes is the breakfast casserole and at most brunches there is always a breakfast casserole, but I am so, so sick of the sausage and cheese breakfast casserole. Don’t get me wrong I love sausage and cheese especially with green chilis, but I wanted something else so I came up with this recipe. My family LOVES salmon and it is such a typical brunch dish. Salmon with cream cheese, green onions and bagels are so good, but how do I combine the tastes with a casserole? Well, here it is…
Let me know your thoughts!

Recipe Notes
This can be assembled the night before and placed in the oven in the morning.
Where do the other 1/2 of the green onions go in the layers? Can you put this together the night before?
Thank you SO much for letting me know about this. It cut off the last sentence of my instructions. When WordPress updates the site sometimes it doesnt transfer everything over. I use the remaining green onions on top of the cooked casserole. Just as a garnish. This is my son’s favorite breakfast casserole. He LOVES salmon!
