I genuinely believe that behind every blogger, there is a carton of eggs waiting to be demolished. And not for recipe development or cake baking or whatever the recipe du jour, but for every other meal where the last thing you want to do is be innovative in the kitchen.

I’ve yet to meet a blogger (unless they’re vegan or egg-free) who doesn’t admit to eating a ton of eggs on a daily basis. Today alone we went through 9…NINE…eggs in my house. With two people. How is that even possible?

Needless to say, I’ve tested my egg casserole skills and this vegetarian egg bake is my go-to for any breakfast gathering or potluck! It looks fancy but it actually takes 10 mins to make and has been a hit every time. 

Ingredients in Vegetarian Egg Bake

The ingredient list is full of pantry staples so you can whip this up for a quick and simple breakfast casserole recipe:

• large eggs – I like a high quality egg (you’ll notice the difference!) from a local farm or even Vital Farms.
• onion – yellow or white onions.
• bell pepper – I like red bell pepper but you can use yellow, orange or even green.
• cherry tomatoes – grape or even chopped roma tomatoes will work.
• kale -destemmed and chopped. You could also use spinach or chard.
• cheese – you can skip this to keep it dairy free.
• milk – I prefer using regular milk with my eggs but dairy-free works great too. 
• salt and pepper

How to Make An Easy Egg Bake [Full Instructions Below]

STEP 1: Sauté your onion in a large skillet with oil until the onion is translucent. Add in the bell pepper and cook for another minute.

STEP 2: In a large mixing bowl, crack your eggs and whisk well. Whisk in the milk and then stir in the sauteed onion and bell peppers as well as the tomatoes, kale, cheese (if using), salt and pepper. 

STEP 3: Add the egg mixture to a greased casserole dish (use butter, olive oil or cooking spray) and bake in oven at 400ºF for 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before digging in!

–> FAQs: Your Breakfast Casserole Questions Answered.

Can you prep this vegetarian egg bake in advance? Absolutely! You could prep the entire dish and store the unbaked casserole in the fridge overnight. Bake first thing when you wake up in the morning.

Can you freeze this easy egg bake? Yes! You can prep this vegetarian breakfast casserole in advance and then cover with tin foil and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven the next morning. You could also remove a slice and head in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Can you save leftovers? Yes! This easy veggie egg bake will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just cover your dish with plastic wrap or remove leftovers and place in a tupperware container. In the morning just reheat your piece in the microwave for roughly 30 seconds.

Can you use different vegetables? Absolutely! You can swap in different veggies including mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower or whatever you have on hand. Just add to the onions and cook through before adding to eggs and baking.

What size baking dish do I need? For this vegetarian breakfast casserole you’ll want to use a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or casserole pan.

Can I swap in different cheese? Yes! I like feta in this vegetarian egg bake but you could also use different types of cheese including cheddar cheese and mozzarella.

Can I add animal protein? Yes! While this easy egg bake is vegetarian you could add another source of animal protein (besides egg) before baking. You could add cooked shredded chicken or ground sausage to eggs before baking. Bacon or other sources of ham add delicious flavor as well.
