This healthy breakfast casserole would be perfect for an Easter or Mother’s Day get-together! It’s easy to make, it serves a crowd, and it’s packed with fresh veggies. I love making it when we host friends and family for brunch in the spring.
My Mom’s Healthy Breakfast Casserole
Speaking of Mother’s Day, my mom actually gave me the inspiration for this vegetarian breakfast casserole recipe! She’s been making breakfast casseroles for years, but she started using sweet potatoes in hers just recently.
I LOVED that idea, and the hearty layer of roasted sweet potatoes on the bottom of this casserole is my favorite part of the recipe! Since the sweet potatoes naturally sink to the bottom of the egg mixture, they create a beautiful and delicious base for this dish. From there, I made this healthy breakfast casserole my own, adding asparagus and peas to celebrate spring. I also layered in mushrooms and scallions. This healthy breakfast casserole recipe has a serious veggie punch!
Healthy Breakfast Casserole Variations
I love the springy mix of asparagus, mushrooms, and peas I call for here, but this recipe is flexible. Feel free to swap in whatever veggies you enjoy! I recommend any of these variations:
Use 1 1/2 cups chopped bell peppers in place of the mushrooms. Substitute 1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli or broccolini for the asparagus. Replace the peas with 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes.
I love the feta in this recipe, but if you’re a fan of goat cheese, try using it here! A layer of grated Parmesan or white cheddar would also be good.
Since I don’t drink regular milk, I used my go-to almond milk to whisk into the eggs. If you skip the feta, this healthy breakfast casserole recipe is entirely dairy-free, but I really love feta cheese’s tangy flavor here, so I don’t recommend leaving it out :).
