Notes
Make Ahead Instructions
If you'd like to prepare this waffle breakfast casserole ahead of time, I recommend making or defrosting the waffles first, then cutting them and arranging them in the baking dish. Mix up the custard in a separate bowl, chop up your banana & store everything in airtight containers the fridge. I do not recommend pouring the custard over the waffles ahead of time as the waffles will become soggy. When you are ready to cook, simply pour the custard over top of the prepared waffles, add toppings & bake!How To Store Waffle Casserole
If you happen to have leftovers, you may store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. I do not recommend freezing. Tried this recipe?Mention @prettydeliciouslife or tag #PDLrecipes!
