I’ve been making this breakfast casserole on Sunday mornings for years… my family loves it and it’s easy to put together. I originally found the recipe in a magazine while on vacation but I’ve since seen it on the internet, it’s that popular. Have any of you Arkansas people been to the Anderson House Inn?
The Anderson House Inn Egg & Bacon Casserole
Heber Springs, Arkansas
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 cups seasoned croutons
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 package (12 ounces) bacon, cooked and crumbled
Place butter in an 11 x 7 x 2 inch baking dish. Place dish in microwave oven to melt, tilting to coat dish. Pour croutons over butter; sprinkle cheese over croutons and set aside.
Combine milk, eggs, and mustard; mix well. Pour egg mixture over cheese, and sprinkle with bacon. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes or until set. Let casserole stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Yum this looks so good. We have breakfast casserole Christmas morning after we open gifts. But now after seeing this picture I don't think I can wait till then.
That sure looks good especially this morning. Thanks for sharing this one I have not tried it before.
Ahhhhh. Scrumpdillyicious I'm sure!!
I have a cookbook of Arkansas Inns and I bet it's in there somewhere! This is a keeper!
This is a keeper. I am not a big breakfast person, but I do love to have something to throw in the oven on holiday mornings! Looks delicious, Karen!

Going to grab this one for the kids! Thank you!
What a great idea to have a Sunday casserole. My kids would absolutely love to have me make this for them — far better than the serve yourself oatmeal or cereal we usually have and it would denote that Sunday is a special day. Thanks for posting…I am off to my boring cereal this morning. Joni
that looks good and very simple to make.
WOW! That does look scrumptious…:)JP P.S. On your blog list, you may want to change Home in the Hollow to A Quiet Corner…:)JP
sounds like a winner, just like you!
i must have been in the shower when you called me over for breakfast…damn.
This looks like a winner. I would probably have to double the recipe!
Looks delicious, I'm sure it would be a hit in my home too! What's not to love about bacon, eggs and cheese?
Check out my Balsamic Red Pepper Jelly post when you have a moment. It's super easy to make!
Breakfast casseroles are always a big hit around here. This one looks delicious. I bet your fresh eggs really make a difference too.
This one is just a bit different than my own. I'll bet the croutons make a huge difference in the taste. Hugs- Diana
I have to admit, not so very vegan-ish, but heck, you had me at croutons with bacon!
My kind of recipe. Easy, tasty and with bacon. Can't beat that. Thanks. Nancy
I've made something similar but never tried croutons before!
Yum. I make brunch on Sundays to so will need to try this one. Thanks!
This looks so good–I will be trying this recipe soon! I live in central Arkansas and Heber Springs is 1 to 1 1/2 hours away from here. We went there a lot when I was a child because my grandfather bought a lot at Sugarloaf Mt. on Greers Ferry lake and planned to build his retirement cabin there. I remember a wonderful Swedish smorgasborg restaurant up there and everyone knows about Red Apple Inn, but I have NEVER heard of Anderson House Inn! I'll have to ask "C" is she has heard of it! I googled it and found their site–perused the online menu, but they only serve lunch and dinner now, and did not see this dish!
This sounds fabulous Karen. I wonder if it would work with homemade croutons. My homemade ones are from Barefoot Contessa and they are semi-crispy, but not like store bought ones. They might not be crunchy enough. This sounds like a great recipe to have up your sleeve for house guests.
I grew up in Arkansas, but I'm not familiar with this Inn. Heber Springs is a pretty area.

Looks SO good; even a non-cook like me ought to try it. 🙂
I make one almost identical to this but use bread (hot dog buns or whatever I'm trying to use up, lol) It's delicious! I have a recipe for a french toast one as well, YUM! 🙂
