Keto Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole Recipe With Spinach and Feta Cheese – Easy Low Carb Breakfast Ideas With Eggs – Perfect make ahead breakfast to prepare, leave overnight and have a simple ketogenic friendly breakfast ready to go in the morning.
Keto Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole Recipe
Breakfast Casseroles are my latest obsession – I keep experimenting with different Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole varieties. This is my favourite so far – a classic combination of spinach and feta.
You can prepare this keto diet friendly breakfast quickly in the morning and have a freshly prepared breakfast casserole in the oven.
Or, you could prepare everything the night before, leave it in the fridge overnight and have a speedy breakfast ready to go in the morning, which is the perfect recipe for busy days.
Keto Breakfast Bake Variations
There are of course plenty of variations when it comes to this easy Keto breakfast idea.
Here are some low carb diet vegetables that you can mix and match to create a Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole of your dreams:
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Brussels Sprouts
- Green Beans
- Asparagus
- Mushrooms
- Onion
- Garlic
- Bell Peppers
- Tomatoes
- Frozen or Fresh Spinach
I chose to make this keto casserole vegetarian, but you can feel free to mix through meaty breakfast foods such as breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, low-carb bacon or any cooked leftover chicken or meat you like, chopped into small pieces.
How To Make A Breakfast Casserole
The actual method for making the delicious recipe is really simple – saute the vegetables in a large skillet in butter or coconut oil until softened. Then, move them to a casserole dish.
For the eggs, whisk together as many as you want with heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. I went for 6 eggs and 1/3 cup of cream for breakfast for my Husband and I. You may want to double that if you’re feeding more than 2 and whisk everything together in a large mixing bowl.
To make a cheese casserole loaded with healthy fats, you can also whisk cream cheese, ricotta cheese or cottage cheese into the creamy egg mixture.
It’s then simply a matter of putting it all together. You can mix through and sprinkle over the top of the casserole your choice of cheese. Mozzarella, Parmesan or Cheddar Cheese would be great. In this instance though, I went for feta.
If you’re following a strict vegetarian diet, just make sure to check that the cheese you are using is vegetarian friendly and does not contain animal rennet.
At this point you could allow the dish to cool and then pop it into the fridge overnight to enjoy the nest day.
Otherwise, into the oven it goes and in no time you’ll be enjoying your Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole.
You can make the easy keto breakfast casserole in one large baking dish, as I have done, or divide the mixture between muffin tins for individual servings that are ready to grab and go in the morning, adjusting the baking time to be 15 to 20 minutes instead.
