Healthy Breakfast Casserole
Description
The Healthy Breakfast Casserole mixes beaten eggs with almond milk, fresh broccoli bite-sized florets, cottage and feta cheeses, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cubed sourdough bread is placed in a prepared baking dish, then soaked in the egg mixture. After refrigeration for at least 1–2 hours or overnight, the casserole bakes at 350°F for about 50 minutes until the middle is set and a knife inserted comes out clean. The result is a custardy casserole with tender bread, softened broccoli, and pockets of melty cheese.
This dish serves well for breakfast or brunch, providing protein, vegetables, and satisfying carbs. It reheats well in the microwave or oven and can be frozen in portions for future meals. Bread type can be adjusted—for gluten-free needs, use a gluten-free bread instead.
Ingredients
- 10 large egg beaten
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk, unsweetened
- 1-2 cups broccoli chopped into bite-size florets, fresh
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ⅓ cup onion chopped
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 5 lices sourdough bread chopped into cubes (5 cups loosely packed)
Instructions
- Spray 9x13 rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. I like to use avocado or olive oil spray. Set aside.
- Combine all ingredients except bread in a large bowl. Toss to combine
- Add bread cubes into prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1-2 hours or overnight.
- Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°.
- Bake about 50 minutes, or until the middle of the casserole is no longer jiggly and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Any bread can be used; for gluten-free diets, substitute with gluten-free bread.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to five days.
- To freeze, portion the casserole, thaw in the fridge, then reheat in the microwave or oven.
