Easy Breakfast Casserole

May 29, 2013 by Julie 44 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

On the morning of Memorial Day, I was awake before everyone else. I began tip-toeing around the kitchen, scoping out breakfast options, hoping I’d see something that would catch my eye. When I saw a fresh loaf of whole wheat bread, I thought about making French toast but I wanted something more savory. I grabbed a carton of eggs, almond milk, spinach, Canadian bacon, cheese and Greek yogurt and got to work. The end result was a fluffy and filling breakfast casserole that everyone seemed to enjoy!

    That casserole looks soo good! My favorite is one that I’ve made when I was trying to use up veggies (that doesn’t have a name), but it’s loaded with veggies- spinach, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, etc and lots of swiss cheese 🙂

    This looks great (and easy)! Woul be perfect for a brunch potluck too since it seems like it can feed a crowd! My mom makes a casserole using via quick, eggs, ham, onion, cheese and bacon.. It is one of my favorite special occasion breakfasts!

    Hi Julie! As always, I love checking out your posts where you include good meal ideas! Now that the summer months are approaching, I’m always looking for more group-sized meals since summer means more family and friends time, and more people to cook for! That being said, I was wondering if you have tried any new dinner recipes? My recipes have been getting a bit boring lately at dinner time, and I’m looking to spice things up, even with the warmer weather. Thanks!

    Can you honestly say your giveaway winners are chosen randomly? The last couple winners have seemed to be hand-picked, based on their comment/reason for wanting to win. Not that I have a problem with the winners (I didn’t even enter the contests), just wondering if you’re providing complete transparency regarding how the winners are chosen.

      Hi Erin! I use random.org. My comments aren’t numbered like they used to be (they now nest within in a post so the pages load faster), so I look to see how many pages of comments I have for the giveaway. I then do the random number generator on random.org for the number of pages, then go to the page that “won” and run it again (1-50) for the winner since there are 50 comments on each page & just count down from there. I hope this makes sense!

    Breakfast casserole is AMAZING, and this one looks so delicious! I will have to try out your recipe but substitute the Canadian Bacon with vegetarian “bacon” or tempeh “bacon.”

    This looks fantastic! I’ve actually never had a breakfast casserole. My dad tends to make more flour-based breakfasts than egg/casserole-based, which I’m perfectly fine with. 🙂 Casseroles look so easy to make, though. I might have to give it a shot one of these days!

    I’m looking to host people at my new house soon and this seems like the perfect morning breakfast dish!

    I’m a huge casserole fan – you pretty much throw anything with eggs into a breakfast casserole and I am happy. The best ones I’ve had are super cheesy but I’ve never known every ingredient in them 😉

    To be honest, I don’t know if I’ve EVER had a breakfast casserole. Maybe at dinner? I’m not sure. I’m more of a dippy egg fan with jelly on toast. Mmm! This would make a great dish if you’re having guests stay overnight, though! So quick and easy!

    I make something similar to this but never thought to put bread in. I LOVE bread. I will have to try that out. It isn’t exactly a casserole but I have made this baked french bread thing for brunch before. It was the best thing ever!

    I have a question for YOU, Julie…:) I would love to be more of a morning person like you but I also enjoy being a night owl. What is your secret? Just consistency with your alarm time. I’m always more productive when starting my day earlier but I’m motivated by your posts of starting early! 🙂

    I am definitely going to be making this to have breakfast for a week! This looks like something that could totally trick my boyfriend into thinking he’s eating a really fattening/indulgent breakfast, when it’s really a much healthier option. Thanks Julie!!! Love your posts <3

    A breakfast casserole is such a great idea to mix things up! I’ve been in a bit of a breakfast rut, either an egg sandwich, oats, or pancakes. A recipe like this should definitely help snap me out of it!
