Passover Make Ahead Breakfasts

Effortless entertaining while often seemingly elusive can actually, easily be achieved with make-ahead meals.

We always like day trips as a family during chol hamoed. A hearty filling breakfast is essential to fuel the family for the hiking, site seeing, touring, and roller coasting, activities we have planned. But honestly when you need to get going early there’s no time to start cooking up an extravagant breakfast from scratch. But to eat… now for that, there’s always time!

Here are 8 delish start-the-day-off-like-a-king breakfast ideas you can make the night before. Perfect for filling everyone’s tummies and pretty enough for serving the extended visiting family. (Like my mother-in-law, brother- and sister-in-law and all my nieces and nephews who often sleep over throughout the holiday). 

Passover Crepes with Cream Cheese and Smoked Salmon

This 5 star family breakfast can be made either the night before or even weeks before. To freeze crepes wrap tightly in foil and double wrap in plastic. Before serving, thaw (while wrapped) and reheat loosely wrapped in foil at 250° F for about 20 minutes or until warm. Don’t try to expedite time here as you don’t want to reheat something as delicate as crepes in a hotter oven. And you are not trying to get them hot, they are actually meant to be served warm.

Assemble the morning of with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese or Cream Cheese and Fruit.

Spinach and Potato Breakfast Bake

This breakfast bake is almost like a dairy kugel. Loaded with nutrients it can be prepared ahead, frozen and served reheated or even at room temp. 

Apple and Cinnamon Quinoa Cakes

A different kind of breakfast pancake that works great to make ahead. Use any leftover quinoa to create these tasty treats. 

Herbed Frittata

Quite like our crepes – make this the night before and reheat at 250° F for about 20 minutes or until just warm.

Matzo Bourekas

You don’t need to give up bourekas just because it’s Passover. In fact you can make them at home in no time. Try cheese or potato filling inside a baked matzo crust.

Bimuelos

Matzo popovers, the perfect make ahead fluffy pastry you can also pack and go with some yummy jam. 

Creamy Banana and Peach Matzo Brie Bake – Watch The Video Here

My new obsession. Make this year round with bread slices in place of matzo sheets. Completely assemble and refrigerate overnight. (In fact this recipe requires at least 3 hours of chill time before baking off, so you have to plan for it.) Just pop it in the oven in the A.M. for a hot, sweet, start to your day. BTW this Matzo Brie Bake works just as well served hot, with a scoop of ice cream, for dessert.

Kale Matzo Strata

Another prep-the-night-before, chill, bake, and serve recipe. This savory layered goodness in a casserole dish is the ying to my matzo brie yang. And bonus points for the Strata as it can just as easily be served and enJOYed for lunch or dinner.
