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.
