I have been saving this recipe for a while because I felt like there was one little thing missing that had not been able to pinpoint yet. This weekend I tested this recipe a couple times and I realized the missing ingredient was my Walnut Sausage! My hair salon asked if I would make a casserole for our December monthly meeting, and of course, I said YES, but I knew that this casserole had to be the greatest tasting thing ever because no one else in my salon is plant based.
I have an incredible passion for making plant based food tasting nothing less (and even better) and traditional recipes. Nothing makes me more excited than when people try my food and they can’t believe that its vegan (or plant based, whatever you want to call it!) I have to be honest and say that I could tell that a few people were kind of leery to taste a “vegan” breakfast casserole, but to my delight everyone loved it! THIS is a recipe that I encourage you to share with your non-vegan/vegetarian friends! No one would ever know that this recipe is low in fat, free of dairy, oil, and also free of eggs!
If you want to get creative, try adding other types of greens or maybe even some broccoli to this casserole! If you like it a little spicier, add more cayenne. (I am kind of a baby when it comes to spicy food, so I always go very light on the hot stuff). 🙂
Put on your santa hats, get cozy in the kitchen, and please enjoy this recipe! XOXO!

Having just eaten a plateful of the “real” deal, I came searching for a recipe that wouldn’t clog my arteries before it hit my stomach. This sounds delish…different, but delish. But, just so you know, what sold me are the oh-my-god-isn’t-she-the-cutest-thing-ever photos. That’s EXACTLY how I want to feel!
Hi Anna! You are too sweet! Thank you so much. Yes, it is such a great feeling to know that you are eating delicious food but not clogging your arteries or hurting your body in any way! Thanks again, Anna!! Have a beautiful day!
XOXO,
Ashley
