I love the convenience of making a large breakfast casserole when I have friends and family over for breakfast or brunch.  It’s also great for meal prep, you can make it ahead and heat it up during the week.

You can use any combination of vegetables to make this casserole, but I love how the broccoli and roasted peppers mimic the festive Christmas colors. This would also go great with Crispy Hash Browns.

How To Make a Breakfast Casserole

Helpful Tips:

  • You can prep all the ingredients ahead and even cook the sausage in advance so all you have to do in the morning is a quick saute while the oven heats and bake.
  • If you hate mushrooms, or cheese, or maybe even sausage, you can use whatever you want here!! Swap mozzarella for Swiss cheese, Feta, cheddar OR leave it out. Swap mushrooms for asparagus, or swap sausage for ham. There are no rules, use what YOU like.
  • I personally prefer to use whole eggs with a few egg whites to lighten it up a bit but you can use the whole egg if you prefer. Too many egg whites gives it a spongy texture, so finding the right balance of whole eggs to egg whites is crucial, plus the yolk is good for you so don’t forget that!

How To Freeze:

Cut the leftovers in portions and freeze them in freezer safe containers. This way whenever I need breakfast in a hurry, I reheat them and know exactly what my portions are. To reheat simply thaw the night before or you can heat it up in the microwave or oven set to 350°F until heated through.
