Gluten-Free Egg Casserole

Luckily for the gluten-free community, it’s easy to make a gluten-free egg casserole. It’s basically combining vegetables and meat of choice with eggs and baking them in a casserole dish.

For this gluten-free egg bake I browned gluten-free sausage and slice peppers in a pan. Once browned, I combined them with cracked and beaten eggs in a casserole dish, topped it with shredded cheese, and baked for 30 minutes. It was literally that simple to make this amazing breakfast bake.

If you’re lactose intolerant with celiac, make this egg casserole recipe dairy-free by omitting the cheese topping. If you don’t want to miss out on the flavor, consider topping it with pickled jalepenos, banana peppers, or vegan cheese.

If you are following a low-nickel diet due to a nickel allergy, make this a low-nickel breakfast by omitting the sausage and using ground turkey seasoned with salt and black pepper.

How to Enjoy this Gluten-Free Breakfast Casserole

There are many ways  to enjoy this gluten-free egg casserole. From preparing it ahead of time for easy breakfasts throughout the week, to serving it with different sauces, dips, and sides to make it interesting. You are sure to never get bored making this egg bake for breakfast.

First, gluten-free breakfast casseroles in general, are the perfect breakfast to meal-prep for the week. Either make a big batch of this egg casserole and store squares of it away in containers in the fridge for quick grab and go breakfasts.

Or instead of combining the sausage and bell pepper mixture with beaten eggs in a casserole dish, combine them in a big bowl. Then portion out that egg mixture into a lined muffin tin for gluten-free egg muffins to grab and go with.

Other ways to enjoy this gluten-free egg casserole include:

  • Serving it with fresh guacamole (yum).
  • Enjoy a gluten-free piece of toast on the side. (I like Schar because most of their breads have a good source of gluten-free fiber)
  • Top it with pickled onions, jalepenos, banana peppers, olives or other flavorful foods for an extra boost of flavor (not that this recipe needs it…)
  • Cover it hot sauce or salsa (my favorite way… though my mom did drink salsa when she was pregnant with me so I might forever biased towards salsa…)

Ultimately, enjoy this gluten-free egg bake in a way that’s easiest and yummiest for you. Whether that be as-is or with extra toppings and sauces.
