I have to admit that I'm a little pierogi crazy. And if I could serve them at every meal like Baba did, the way some families serve bread, believe me,  I would. But that's not my reality for a myriad of reasons, including time and health. Yet perogies are still pure comfort food for me. And sometimes I indulge. And because I don't have time to make perogies on a regular basis and love them so much, I like to make perogy things. This Pierogi Breakfast Casserole is one of them.

It's not only easy, its the ultimate lazy man's version of the lazy perogy casserole. It's actually the laziest you can possibly get when it comes to making a perogie casserole.

This frozen pierogies recipe is popular any time of the year, but ideal as a main dish for a holiday breakfast or a side dish for a breakfast potluck!

  • 📋 Pierogi Breakfast Casserole (with frozen pierogies) Recipe
  • 🥟More Pierogi Recipes!

🥘 Ingredients

This Perogy casserole is make-ahead and chock-full of yummy perogies and breakfast things like cheese, eggs, dill, sauerkraut, bacon bits and onions. It's the perfect breakfast potluck dish because everyone loves perogies, even picky eaters! And because it uses frozen perogies it's very easy to make.

You'll need:

  • frozen cheese and potato perogies
  • butter
  • onion
  • bacon bits
  • sauerkraut
  • sour cream * I use light
  • cheddar cheese
  • hot prepared mustard
  • eggs
  • fresh dill

*See recipe card for quantities

📖Variations & Substitutions

  • Pierogies - you can buy frozen perogies from the grocery store or use your own frozen homemade pierogies. You could use a different savory filling pierogi, if you don't want to use potato and cheese.
  • Sausages: Add in any type of cooked sausages, such as Italian sausage or maple sausage) you like and make it a Sausage Pierogi casserole!
  • Onions - you can substitute green onions for white onion
  • Dill - you can substitute dried dill, but you'll only need half as much
  • WW friendlier -use fat- free sour cream or non-fat Greek yogurt, turkey bacon or turkey sausage, a light margarine and light or fat-free cheese
  • Vegetarian -skip the bacon bits!
  • Lactose -free -use vegan margarine and a coconut cultured yogurt or lactose-free sour cream and lactose -free cheese.

💭Top Tip

Avoid simulated bacon bits and go for the real (crumbled) bacon bits - you can buy bacon bits that taste like the real thing in most grocery stores or you can make your own buy chopping up cooked bacon. I use pre-cooked bacon from Costco, as it is less messy and only takes a few minutes to cook in the microwave.

🔪 Instructions

With this dish, you're not even attempting to replicate a perogie, you simply use frozen perogies, cut them in half, dump a bunch of other stuff in and bake. Just how a casserole should be; none of this cooking stuff in advance or fussy layers of this or that. You simply just dump, mix and bake. Easy peasy!

We have a lot of breakfast potlucks at work and breakfast potlucks are a lot harder than other potlucks because your options are limited. That's why I have also created several breakfast potluck dishes, including this Perogy Casserole and these Award-winning Maple Sausage Brunch Bites.

They are portable, delicious and perfect for breakfast potlucks at work. But if you are looking for something sweet for a breakfast potluck, then check out my Raspberry Lemon Scones  (shown below), Carrot Cake Overnight French Toast Casserole or my Glazed Carrot Cake Doughnut Muffins , if you want to get a little fancier.

And I don't just love perogies, I love all Ukrainian food. Obviously. And since there aren't many Ukrainian breakfast recipes out there, I've had to create my own. This Ukrainian Breakfast Hash (shown below) is another great breakfast potluck recipe because it can be made ahead. And like my Ukrainian Breakfast Hash, this Perogie Casserole recipe, using frozen perogies,  is make-ahead, easy and perfect for a potluck.

This easy Ukrainian recipe uses home made hash browns that can be made with fresh or leftover baked potatoes, dill, Ukrainian sausage, dry cottage cheese and sauerkraut for an easy and quick breakfast that's the perfect brunch potluck idea.

So if you're looking for easy recipes, give this pierogi casserole recipe a try! It's a breakfast dish that the whole family is sure to love!

Ingredients

  • 24 frozen cheese and potato perogies defrosted
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • ½ cup real bacon bits
  • ½ cup sauerkraut
  • ½ cup light sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups old/sharp cheddar cheese * I used light/low-fat
  • 1 teaspoon hot prepared mustard
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Garnish:

  • fresh dill
  • light sour cream
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/ 176 degrees C. Spray a ½ quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Chop the onions and cook in butter in microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Cut each perogy in half and place pierogies in the bottom of casserole dish (you likely can't have to do a single layer, so don't worry if you have to stack them)
  • Pour the cooked onion in melted butter over the perogies, then add the bacon bits.
  • Squeeze the liquid out of the sauerkraut  by placing it in a sieve and pushing the liquid out. Then chop into small pieces. Spread the sauerkraut over the perogies in the casserole dish.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, hot mustard, eggs, dill and 1 cup of cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup cheddar cheese). Mix thoroughly. 
  • Pour over perogies, then gently stir in. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top of casserole.
  • Cook in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until egg is fluffy and no longer runny.
  • Return to oven, turn up to broil (500 degrees F) for 1-2 minutes longer until cheese bubbles and browns slightly. Watch it carefully, as light/low fat cheese can burn very quickly.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm.  Or make-ahead and refrigerate overnight and reheat in the morning.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little fresh dill.

    This sounds awesome to me! I'd eat it for any meal and probably serve it with a fried egg on top. Yum!

    I made this for dinner and cut the recipe in half. I used a little precooked breakfast sausage and increased the amount of sauerkraut I was pleased. This is very good.
