Most weekday mornings are a blur here in our household, so it’s really nice to have a satisfying and healthy breakfast ready to go.
Veggie Breakfast Casserole
I created this Veggie & Ham Breakfast Casserole just for those reasons.
It’s super versatile – if you’d rather have green pepper, go for it! If you don’t like mushrooms, leave them out! Wanna add some diced onion? Be my guest!
Try adding a few diced slices of cooked bacon to the mixture before baking for extra flavor. The sky is the limit!
It freezes pretty well too – which is great if you aren’t making this for a large crowd, but would like to have breakfast already prepared for a few days.

Ingredients
10 large, pasture-raised eggs
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 ham steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 cups baby spinach
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon butter, olive oil, refined coconut oil, ghee, etc.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, scramble all 10 eggs.
- Mix in the salt.
- Fold in the spinach and ham cubes, set aside.
- Warm the butter in a medium frying pan. Toss in a piece of pepper after a few minutes, and if sizzles, it’s ready.
- Sautee the pepper and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes.
- Using a colander, drain the pepper and mushrooms of any excess liquid.
- Fold the pepper and mushrooms into the egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture into a 9 x 13 casserole dish (or something comparable). Bake for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- Cover with foil or an oven-safe lid and continue baking for 35 more minutes.
- When you remove it from the oven, you may want to drain some of the liquid from the casserole before serving. Cut into 8-10 squares or rectangles, and serve immediately.
To freeze
- After cutting, let it cool completely.
- Store in airtight glass containers in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- You may need to drain a bit of liquid after thawing, but it still tastes great!
