Ingredients Needed to Make Vegan and Gluten Free Breakfast Casserole
Hash browns: Shredded or southern style. I used southern style in my recipe but either will work. These need to be defrosted before using. So be sure to put them in the refrigerater the night before to give them some time to defrost before assembling.
Plantbased sausage: Impossible breakfast sausage is a great choice. This can also be omitted if you wish.
Vegan Cheese Shreds: Cheddar preferably
Just Egg
Your choice of add ins: I used kale but you could also add diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, etc.
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Onion Powder: omit if adding diced onions
How to to Make Vegan and Gluten Free Breakfast Casserole
This recipe can be assembled the night before and baked the next day, or can be prepared all at the same time. It’s completely up to you.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a sauté pan, brown your impossible sausage until cooked through. I also added kale into my casserole so I sauted that in with my vegan sausage, this is where you also would add your choice of spinach, diced onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc and cook until softened. Next, in a large bowl mix together hash browns, vegan cheddar shreds, plant based sausage and kale (any other veggies), salt, pepper, and onion powder. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with a spritz of cooking oil and pour in your mixture. Pour in 1 bottle of Just Egg and gently give it a stir. Sprinkle paprika on top and bake for 40-45 minutes.
*If preparing in advance cover your casserole with foil or a lid and bake the next day when desired.
