This hearty breakfast casserole recipe is a delicious all-in-one dish to serve for brunch. It’s easy to make ahead of time and bake when you need it.
This breakfast casserole is the perfect all-in-one dish to serve at a potluck brunch. It’s very hearty and flavorful, and you can vary the vegetables according to what you have on hand. Many people would add cheese to a dish like this, but it’s not necessary with all the other flavors working together so well in this casserole. I use yogurt to give this dish a fluffy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat bread cubes
- 1 cup chopped asparagus
- 6 ounces breakfast sausage or bacon sliced or broken into bite-sized pieces
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tsp. mustard powder
- 11/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tbs. diced scallions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly in the bottom of the baking pan.
- Blanch the asparagus for a minute or two in boiling water, until just tender. Place the asparagus in the baking dish on top of the bread.
- Add the chopped sausage or bacon to the baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, mustard powder, and salt. Pour the mixture into the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the scallions on top.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until eggs are set. Serve warm.

April 11, 2013 at 11:21 amThanks, Julia. A non-dairy milk would work too. I’m not sure if mayonnaise would impact the flavor.

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!

April 2, 2013 at 11:15 amThanks, 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.

April 1, 2013 at 10:40 amCan 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.

April 1, 2013 at 10:59 amI 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!
