Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 medium onion (- diced)
1 medium green pepper (- diced)
1 medium red pepper (- diced)
7 ounces white mushrooms (- chopped into at least 1-cm pieces)
1 cup lacinato kale ribbons
9 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon sea salt salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups big croutons
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese ((I use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella))

Steps:

Sauté the onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in a large skillet on medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, until they start to soften and most of the water has cooked away. Stir in the kale and remove from heat.
Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and ground black pepper together in a large bowl. Set aside.
Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish. Layer the croutons evenly on the bottom. Layer the vegetable mix on top of the croutons. Evenly layer the grated cheese on top of the vegetable mix. Gently pour the egg mixture on top. Cover and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, at least 8 hours.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 325°/160°C. Place the casserole in the middle of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the heat up to 350°C/176°C. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the egg is set. To check, insert a knife in the middle of the casserole and it should come out clean. If the casserole is browning too quickly, cover with a foil for the last bit of baking time.
Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

VEGETARIAN OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

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:

Use day-old bread for a sturdier casserole.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use two 8x8 inch pans.
You can use any type of milk in this recipe, but whole milk will make the casserole richer.
If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs instead.
Be careful not to overcook the eggs. The casserole is done when the eggs are just set in the center.
Let the casserole cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This Vegetarian Overnight Breakfast Casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's packed with protein, vegetables, and whole grains, and it can be made ahead of time, so you can enjoy a hot breakfast even on busy mornings. Whether you're a vegetarian or just looking for a healthier breakfast option, this casserole is a great choice.
