Vegan Breakfast Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350℉ and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Spread the frozen hash browns into the casserole dish and place in the oven to thaw while the oven preheats, about 10 minutes. Remove the hash browns once they are no longer frozen.

Step 2

Chop your vegan bacon (or sausage/chorizo) into small pieces, then sprinkle on top of the hash browns, followed by the onion, red bell pepper, spinach and 1 cup of the vegan cheese, if using.

Step 3

Drain any water from the tofu packages. In a blender, add the tofu and the rest of the vegan "egg" ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour the "eggs" over the top of the casserole.

Step 4

Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top and bake, uncovered, for 55-60 minutes, until the "eggs" are firm. Serve with hot sauce, avocado slices and sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

Step 5

Make ahead: To prepare the casserole the night before, simply place the frozen hash browns in the casserole dish (no need to thaw). Continue with layering everything in the dish, then cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350℉, then bake uncovered for 65-75 minutes, until hot and the "eggs" are cooked.
