Tips

If you want to make the Breakfast Casserole ahead of time, you can chop the filling ingredients and mix them with the remaining ingredients. Store covered in the fridge. When you’re ready to make the breakfast, transfer it to the ramekins, add the eggs, and bake.

You can make these into mini muffin cups. Use prebaked shortcrust pastry as the base and add the filling. Top with one egg and bake. To prevent these from sticking, you can grease the muffin holes with butter, or spray them with cooking oil spray.

You can customize this recipe to include the veggies you like. You can even add meat. Try red pepper, tomatoes, cooked potatoes, or zucchini. For meat options, you can go with bacon, ham, chopped sausages, or even ground beef. Remember to cook raw meats first before using them.

This recipe is vegetarian and keto-friendly!
