Description
This easy gluten-free dairy-free breakfast casserole can be prepped the night before and then baked in the morning. Perfect for when having guests or for holiday mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb gluten-free sausage, pork or turkey
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 10 eggs
- 1 ½ cups almond milk
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast*
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, gluten-free
- 20 oz. diced hash browns, frozen (just under 4 cups)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. When most of it is browned, add the diced onions and green peppers. Continue cooking until the onions look transparent. Drain off any excess fat if needed.
- Place the eggs, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and Dijon mustard together in a large mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add in the hash browns, sausage mixture, salt, and pepper, and mix thoroughly.
- Spread into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
- To Bake in the Morning: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat oven to 350°, take the casserole out of the refrigerator, and remove the plastic wrap. Place in the heated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes until the center is set.
- To Bake Immediately: Preheat oven to 350°. Bake in the heated oven for 55-60 minutes until the center is set.
Notes
*I like to use non-fortified nutritional yeast. I have a link in the post on the brand I use.
If you prefer turkey sausage, you can use my Homemade Turkey Sausage recipe.
Refrigerator: Cooled leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Or frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat the casserole, cover it with aluminum foil and reheat in a preheated oven at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
Freeze baked casserole: Completely cool the baked casserole and cover it tightly with plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw the frozen baked casserole, place it in the refrigerator overnight and then follow the reheating instructions above, making sure to remove the layer of plastic wrap.
Freeze unbaked casserole: Cover the casserole with plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw the unbaked casserole, place it in the refrigerator overnight and then follow the original baking instructions; make sure to remove both plastic wrap and aluminum foil before baking.
