3 easy overnight breakfasts that let you sleep in this weekend

If you like a savoury, meaty, cheesy feast for breakfast, look no further than this delicious casserole from Jamie Lothridge's blog My Baking Addiction. Stuffed with egg-soaked bread (think savoury French toast), sausage and sharp Cheddar cheese (plus whatever veggies you want to add) this a breakfast that will keep you filled up for a day of cottaging — even if that's just sleeping off breakfast in a deck chair.

Overnight oats — oatmeal that you put together the night before and usually serve chilled — have a bad reputation for being gummy and unpleasant. Not so with this recipe from the Cookie and Kate blog. If your cottage guests are health conscious, they'll appreciate the delicious combination of oats, chia seeds, nut butter and flavourings of your choice. We'd suggest adding fresh-cut fruit, dried fruit and/or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Pour a cup of coffee, and enjoy this reasonably portable meal on the dock. best of all? The ingredients have to be assembled the night before, so more time to sleep in.

If you know your guests are in the mood for a breakfast on the sweet side, an easy-to-assemble French toast casserole is the way to go. This recipe from cakescottage.com is mixed together the night before, then popped in the oven 45 minutes before you want to sit down to breakfast. the last 15 minutes of baking create a beautiful golden crust, perfect for topping with maple syrup. If you're feeling super ambitious, stew up some blueberries in sugar and orange juice for a fruity drizzle.
