Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Breakfast Casserole (Freezer Friendly)

If you loved my easy breakfast bowls, then you’ll love this casserole even more! This recipe is perfect for making on Sundays for an easy breakfast option throughout the week. You can also freeze the casserole (before the last step) and bake it later, especially if you want to prepare it ahead of time for a family or holiday breakfast gathering!

TIP: I used fresh ingredients for this specific version, but you can skip a few steps by using frozen veggies!

Wow, thank you! I love breakfast casseroles but having to use gluten-free bread makes them a bit less tasty. I would never have thought of using brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes but I love all those ingredients, so we'll see how they taste together. I also love the ability to make and freeze, as there are only two of us at home now and I can make and freeze half.

Half of it goes on the potatoes before roasting. The other half is sprinkled on casserole during assembly! :)

I think by accident you left out the quantity of eggs on the ingredients list. Looks great though!!
