If there is one thing all three of us love, it’s BREAKFAST. No matter where Team Fit Foodie starts the day, breakfast is always a priority. We differ on what our favorite dishes are, but we all agree that breakfast is the best meal of the day.
Pancakes, breakfast casseroles, bacon, eggs, donuts, and everything in between. We love eating it, we love making it, and we love finding new places to enjoy a good all American breakfast. We’ve recently been really into Freehouse and their $5 breakfast, Birchwood’s savory waffle, and Honey and Rye’s breakfast sandwich! If you’re in the twin cities, check all of these places out!
How to Make a Healthy Breakfast Casserole
Honestly, breakfast casseroles are one of the easiest meal prep breakfast recipes or brunch recipes that you can make.
- The first step is to choose your favorite vegetables and chop them up.
- Next, decide if you want this dish to be dairy-free. If you do, skip the cows milk and use almond milk and skip the cheese. If you are able to eat dairy, pick your favorite cheese and shred it up.
- Throw all of your ingredients into a deep casserole dish and cover with 8-10 eggs that have been whisked and combined with milk.
Yes, I make it sound easy because it is! We love this specific healthy breakfast casserole recipe because it is made with sweet potato hash browns, all of our favorite veggies, and GOUDA. For us, it doesn’t get much better than that. We love to meal-prep this to reheat for the week or we love to stick a piece of casserole in between an English muffin for a fun breakfast sandwich. Again, sky is the limit!

Great recipe! It’s filling and not as heavy as most breakfast casseroles. We added a bit more cheese and bacon:-)
Can you prep it all and have put together night before and then just bake in morning?
Is the nutritional information posted somewhere? I.e., calories, fat, sodium, etc.
Hi, this webpage looks broken to me. I don’t see any content right now (i.e. the recipe!). I was going to make this dish for dinner. Any ideas?
