Ingredient Breakdown
Hash Browns
Frozen hash browns create the crispy, golden crust that makes this recipe unique. They're convenient, budget-friendly, and provide the perfect hearty base for all of the delicious toppings.
Eggs
Eggs are the heart of this breakfast bake, creating a fluffy, protein-rich filling that holds everything together.
Mushrooms
Sautéed mushrooms add a rich, savory flavor and meaty texture while boosting the nutritional value of the casserole.
Cheese
Cheese creates a creamy, melty texture throughout the casserole while helping the hash brown crust hold together. Dairy-free cheese works wonderfully if needed.
Spinach
Fresh spinach adds color, nutrients, and freshness without overpowering the other ingredients.
Breakfast Meat
Lean deli turkey makes this recipe quick and easy, but bacon, breakfast sausage, ham, or your favorite breakfast meat all work beautifully.
Almond Milk
Unsweetened almond milk helps create light, fluffy eggs while making it easy to keep this recipe dairy-free.
Hash Brown Egg Bake Recipe
Ingredients
20 ounces frozen hash browns
8 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 cups shredded cheese (dairy-free if needed)
5 ounces fresh spinach
8 ounces deli turkey, chopped
Seasonings
Salt
Black pepper
Dry mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Par-bake the hash browns. Spread the frozen hash browns evenly onto a baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper and bake for 20 minutes.
Prepare the vegetables. Sauté the mushrooms until softened and any excess moisture has evaporated. If using other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or broccoli, cook them until tender before adding them to the casserole.
Create the hash brown crust. Remove the hash browns from the oven and transfer them to an 8×8-inch casserole dish. Stir in half of the shredded cheese, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish to form a crust.
Prepare the egg mixture. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard. Stir in your veggie add-ins.
Assemble the casserole. Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown crust.
Add the toppings. Sprinkle the deli turkey, spinach, and remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Rest before serving. Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for about 25 minutes before slicing.
Serve and enjoy!
