Gluten-free Breakfast Sausage and Egg Casserole made with all gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients. One of my favorites to make for the week and have for an easy and quick meal!
Note to self: casseroles and quiches are delicious to eat but not as fun to photograph as some banana bread – ha!
After I made this recipe the first time and shared it over on my Instagram stories, you guys were going crazy for the recipe. I whipped it up again since my whole family loved it. Plus I couldn’t not share this new recipe idea with you guys!
I found some ground breakfast sausage in my freezer, which is what originally inspired this recipe. And I wanted to use up everything I had in my freezer as you guys know that is my favorite (more on that here).
I also had some extra loaves of bread in there, one being a grain-free loaf, which I lightly toasted that as well to add into this recipe.
What I love about this healthier gluten-free egg and sausage casserole is how versatile it is and easy to make and have for the whole week.
We got about 4-5 servings from this and Ezra loved it so much too. He eats pretty much everything we eat (for now..) and I was shocked he didn’t require extra ketchup. Usually the only way he’ll eat eggs is by adding ketchup!
Let’s run through the ingredients needed for this recipe:
- Ground breakfast sausage – you can also use a vegan sausage or any other meat you prefer
- Eggs – the main star of the show
- Full-fat coconut milk – I like using the one from a can here. It adds extra flavor and great consistency to the dish but you can use another milk as well
- Bread of choice – any bread you have/love works. Toast up a few slices so it is lightly toasted then cut up and add to dish!
- Optional mix-in ideas: cheese, dairy-free cheese, roasted veggies, scallions, anything!

Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and slightly grease with some avocado oil

- Remove sausage from skillet and add to a paper towel lined plate to absorb the oil

This looks delicious! I don’t see what temperature the casserole should bake at, though.

I would still love to try this. Would 350º be a good temperature to bake it at?
