A hearty breakfast is the best way to start a busy day. While we love pancakes and other sweet breakfasts in my house, sometimes a savory, protein-rich meal is in order.

This dairy free breakfast casserole is chock full of savory breakfast favorites. Eggs and sausage meet up with hash browns, peppers, and onions in this delicious dish. The flavors and textures in this meal make it irresistible.

Many people would add cheese to a dish like this, but it’s not necessary with all the other flavors working together so well here. Nobody misses the dairy in this dish.

Dairy Free Breakfast Casserole Tips

For the liquid in this recipe, I like to use oat milk. You could substitute almond milk or any other mild non-dairy milk, or use regular milk if you’d prefer.

  • Egg mixture in a bowl
  • Sausage and peppers in a skillet
  • Ingredients in the pan
  • Ingredients in the pan with egg mixture and cheese

I use breakfast sausage links that I get from my local meat share. You can use any sausage links you’d like, or try crumbled breakfast sausage. Alternately, you could use chopped cooked bacon.

Frozen hash browns can go right into this recipe while still frozen. If your hash browns have salt in them, use less salt than the amount listed. And if your hash browns are defrosted, the cook time will be a bit shorter.

You can adapt this recipe by substituting chopped asparagus for the red pepper, use shallots instead of onions, or add some mushrooms for a different flavor. You can also skip the sausage for a vegetarian version. This dairy free breakfast casserole is a very flexible recipe that always comes out delicious.

    This looks really delicious. I think I can swap out the yogurt for some mayonnaise and make it dairy free. Thanks for the recipe!

      Thanks, Julia. A non-dairy milk would work too. I’m not sure if mayonnaise would impact the flavor.

    Annemarie,
    It looks so green and fresh! If I hadn’t gone through so many eggs just making dinner and breakfast (chef salad for dinner + eggs and pancakes for breakfast means I’ve got only a few from the dozen that I had yesterday morning!) I’d be making this for dinner tonight!
    As it is, I think I could easily sub in some leftover Easter ham for the sausage, and I’ve got plenty of greek yogurt–inspired idea.
    Thanks, Annemarie!

      Thanks, Kirsten! I know what you mean about going through eggs. I can’t believe how many we go through. Great idea to use leftover ham.

    This looks like something I might make for dinner. I’ll try a half recipe first since there are only 4 of us. 🙂

    Can you post also the Nutrition facts for the whole plate ? or at least for the serving size ? so we can have more of a clue if it’s suitable for losing or gaining weight.

      I don’t do nutritional breakdowns, Fares. I believe that if I eat a varied, real food diet with minimally processed ingredients, my body will end up where it should be. But if you’re interested in learning the nutritional breakdown of my recipes, I think there are tools online where you can plug in the ingredient list and get the information you’re looking for. Good luck!
