Vegetarian Overnight Breakfast Casserole image

A vegetarian remake of the classic overnight breakfast sausage casserole. In addition to swapping out meat for vegetarian ingredients, I changed the spices from the standard version. If you don't like these ones, use your own favorites. Nutmeg and rubbed sage are a nice combination.

Tips:

Prep Ahead: Save time in the morning by chopping vegetables and whisking eggs the night before. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Choose Your Veggies: Select colorful, nutrient-rich vegetables like bell peppers, onions, spinach, and mushrooms. You can also try broccoli, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes.
Spice It Up: Add a kick of flavor with herbs like basil, thyme, or oregano. For a spicy twist, sprinkle in some chili flakes or diced jalapeños.
Cheese Please: Enhance the flavor and texture with shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or feta cheese. You can also add a dollop of cream cheese or goat cheese for extra richness.
Muffin Tin Magic: If you don't have ramekins, use a greased muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup with the egg mixture and vegetables, and bake as directed.
