Description

This Breakfast Casserole with Turkey Sausage, Smoked Turkey Bacon, and Cheddar Cheese (plant-based) is a hearty and flavorful morning dish combining savory turkey sausage, crispy smoked turkey bacon, and melty plant-based cheddar cheese. With fresh vegetables, plant-based milk, and a natural gelling agent, it delivers a rich, wholesome meal perfect for busy mornings, brunches, or meal prep.

Ingredients

Meat & Cheese

  • Turkey sausage, cooked and browned
  • Smoked turkey bacon, cooked and slightly crisp
  • Plant-based cheddar cheese, shredded

Vegetables

  • Onion, diced
  • Garlic, minced
  • Bell peppers, diced

Base & Binder

  • Eggs
  • Plant-based milk
  • Natural gelling agent
  • Whole wheat bread or gluten-free alternative, cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasonings

  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Paprika
  • Dried herbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat and Vegetables: Start by browning the turkey sausage and smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and slightly crisp. Remove them from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions, garlic, and bell peppers until softened and fragrant.
  2. Mix the Egg and Dairy Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and plant-based milk until smooth and fluffy. Stir in salt, pepper, paprika, and dried herbs. Add a small amount of natural gelling agent to help the casserole set with a tender, sliceable texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the bite-sized bread pieces to the egg mixture. Toss in the cooked turkey sausage, smoked turkey bacon, sautéed vegetables, and shredded plant-based cheddar cheese. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
  4. Bake the Casserole: Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish, smoothing the top evenly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after removing from the oven to firm up, making it easier to cut into neat pieces. Serve warm with your favorite morning beverages and garnishes.

Notes

  • Choose fresh turkey sausage and smoked turkey bacon for the best flavor.
  • Gently fold ingredients to maintain a light, tender texture.
  • Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate for easy morning baking.
  • Use fresh vegetables for brightness and balance in flavor.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife to ensure it comes out clean before removing from the oven.
