Now entering winter weekend hibernation mode! This Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole is just the sort of recipe to enjoy in PJ-clad style. Its sized for a crowd, can be prepped well in advance (overnight if you like!), and is easily adaptable to a variety of diets.
Whether you are hosting a hoard of out-of-town guests, need a crowd-pleasing recipe for a special brunch, or simply want a lazy-day sort of breakfast that you can eat slices of in your sweatpants at your leisure, savory egg bakes like this one are spot-on for the season.
I consider myself a bit of a breakfast casserole connoisseur, a distinction I owe to my mother.
Every year at the holidays, her three adult childrenplus our spouses and my niecesall squeeze back under her roof. Each morning, my Mom has a crowd-sized breakfast planned for her hungry crew, and while the sides might change, a breakfast casserole is always on the menu.
As a collective, we prefer a savory breakfast casserole like this one over a sweet one (all the more room for a side of Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls). Theyre almost always egg based, with lots of delicious mix-ins.
Every year around this time, Im eager to go home and share a big breakfast with my family, and that enthusiasm bubbles over into my cooking. Over the years, Ive shared a lineup of breakfast casseroles like Crockpot Egg Casserole, Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole, and for the sweet fans, the ultimate Overnight French Toast.
I hope youre eager for a big breakfast too. This casserole is fully loaded with roasted vegetables and although its vegetarian, it is plenty hearty and satisfying fit for a breakfast feast!
Dont let the word breakfast in this recipes title fool you either; this vegetarian casserole isnt limited only to the AM hours. I loved eating it reheated for fast, healthy lunches and dinners.
Plus, since this time of year tends to turn PJs into an all-day wardrobe, this recipe is in ideal alignment with that laidback sentiment.
In addition to being vegetarian, this casserole is naturally low carb and gluten free. We love ours with a shower of feta on top, but it can easily be omitted if youd like the casserole to be dairy free.
Whether youre cooking for a group with varied dietary needs or you just love a hearty, delicious breakfast that has the added benefit of being good for you, this casserole checks the boxes. (more)
