Incredible! We loved it warm, and had a pool day with a crowd to feed. Several went back for cold squares straight out of the fridge later in the day!
Marie Fero says
Hi Becky!
I’d like to try this for Christmas. Can I substitute spinach for kale, and will almond milk be ok?
Thanks!
Becky says
Hi Marie! You can definitely use unsweetened almond milk. I prefer kale to spinach because it is drier, but spinach should work, too! Hope you enjoy.
Carol J. says
Love this recipe! We have it for dinner. My husband is a type-2 diabetic and with recipes such as this, he has lost over 30 lbs., his AIC numbers are perfect and he may be able to go off insulin soon. This dish is so flavorful and filling. Thanks, Rebecca!
Becky says
Yay, I’m so happy you and your husband are enjoying this recipe! ๐ Glad to hear he is doing so well!
Lisa says
Lovely recipe for when I have guests visit. I am lazy, I grind my kale if I don’t have the baby leaves-I find them a bit tough in larger pieces. Thank you, friends and I have more time to play. I also use the skillet in the oven option. I like both ways, just also lazy about dishes.
Becky says
Glad you like it! Great modifications for days when we’re feeling a little lazy! ๐
Breanna says
Hello, what type of sweet potato have you used? They appear to be white from the photos (Hannah variety).
If I double the recipe (party of 8), do you think it will all fit in one 9×13 pan and take twice as long to cook?
I’m planning to substitute the kale with diced artichoke hearts and mushrooms, and use maple bacon. Sounds great!
Becky says
Hi Breanna! Yes, I used Hannah yams :). Any kind works, though! I’ve also made this with orange ones.
I doubt a double recipe would fit in a 9×13 pan because I think it would be too tall. I would recommend two 9×13 pans, or perhaps one 9×13 and one 8×8. The casserole puffs up some as it cooks and I wouldn’t want it to overflow in your oven!
Those substitutions sound delicious!
Maria Cรณrdova says
I’ve been taking care of my weight and health for around a year now, always loooking for easy to find ingredients. I just did this recipe this morning! It was great, easy, healthy and delicious. Thanks
Becky says
So glad you liked it, Maria! Thanks for commenting! ๐
Nova at Happily Ever Hauser says
Hi Becky! Iโm currently on my first Whole 30 journey and I canโt wait to try this recipe!
Iโve featured your recipe on my latest blog post at happilyeverhauser.com

Thanks so much for the feature! Great roundup!
Luke says
Do you know the nutritional facts carbs, fat, protein on this dish
Becky says
Hi Luke, No, I don’t calculate nutritional info for my recipes. I suggest you plug the ingredients into a free online calculator if you need that data. Here’s an example: https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp
Michelle Lee says
Where do you find sugar free bacon? And also that has not been processed. And what would be a good organic healthy sausage?
Becky says
Hi Michelle! I get sugar-free bacon from ButcherBox (that’s my affiliate link). US Wellness Meats also has it, and some Whole Foods stores carry Wellshire Farms sugar-free bacon. Bacon by definition has been processed, but these ones are minimally processed. For sugar-free sausage I like Applegate Farms and Wellshire Farms–check the ingredients because some of their flavors may contain sugar, but I’ve found several that don’t.
Dawn says
Can it be frozen?
Becky says
Hi Dawn, I haven’t tried freezing it, but I think it would work. When I googled “freeze breakfast casserole” it looked like several recipes were recommending freezing the casserole unbaked, then defrosting overnight in the fridge and baking as usual.
Dawn says
Thanks very much

Justine says
Located this recipe after work already had prebaked sweet potato & variation of the ingredients! Absolutely delicious, instead of milk i used almond milk. I used hot italian sausage & with all those spices in the meat skipped the cumin & coriander I also decided to make it fritatta style right in the iron skillet, so after adding the eggs popped the whole pan in oven. 1/4 of the round was filling enough! Look forward to seeing how long it keeps me satiated in the morning!
Thanks so much. Look forward to exploring more of your blog!
Becky says
I’m so glad you liked it, Justine! Bet it was great frittata-style with spicy sausage :).
Angela Mesquita says
Hummm…easy and tasty!
Becky says
Thanks, Angela!

What a fun thing to do with other bloggers! I love digging into other's archives, there are always recipes that catch my eye that I never would have found. Plus always a good way to get out of a cooking rut. This casserole is packed with all of my favorites too ๐ pinned!
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Amanda! It IS really fun to comb through someone's archives ๐

We love quiche for breakfast and brunch so this casserole is sure to be a winner!
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Sue!
withoutadornment says
Yummy! This breakfast casserole looks amazing! I love how you modified it to use things you had on hand!
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks so much!
Melissa @ Fried Ice and Donut Holes says
What a perfect weekend breakfast. Good luck with your Whole30!! That is something I might try this summer. I've heard great things… ๐
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Melissa! The Whole30 is a great (but difficult) program. Hope you stop back by if you decide to do one–I have a bunch of Whole30-compliant recipes in my index and more coming soon ๐
Julia says
I love it when healthy recipes shock you right out of your boots and give the less-healthy version run for its money. This bk casserole looks faaaabulous! I want a huge hunk of it for second breakfast right now!
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Julia! Speaking of second breakfast, it IS about that time…(wanders off to kitchen)
nicole says
I wonder if this would freeze well? We're a family of 2.
Rebecca Winkler says
Hi Nicole! I've never frozen anything like this, but we're also a family of 2 and we polished it off within a few days ๐
Lauren Everson says
My family would devour this during our next holiday gathering!
Rebecca Winkler says
Yes, definitely! ๐
Lynn Huntley says
Happy Reveal Day! My family loves breakfast casseroles and they are perfect for overnight guests. Lynn
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Lynn! They are great for guests ๐ Happy reveal day to you, too!
Erin says
What an awesome breakfast casserole! It's been too long since I've made one and this just jumped up the list.
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Erin! This is a great one ๐
Rebekah Hills says
Oh.my.yumm!! That looks FANTASTIC!!
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Rebekah!
Emily says
I don't know why I don't make breakfast casseroles. They look so easy and delicious. I am hoping to do a Whole30 soon. Pinning this for when the time comes. Happy Reveal Day!
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Emily! The Whole30 is a great experience, although tough–hope you stop back by when you start. I have a bunch of Whole30 recipes in the archives and more to come! Happy reveal day to you, too ๐
Wendy Klik says
This sounds delicious to me. I could even omit the meat and enjoy it for a Meatless Monday meal.
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Wendy! You definitely could–maybe with some salt and smoked paprika or other spices, since this mostly gets seasoned by the bacon & sausage ๐
SallyBR says
Oh, my, I love this, with or without qualifier because I have a big bottle of nutritional yeast (bought for curiosity) and I've been assembling recipes that use it.
this goes to my Pinterest board without blinking!
Rebecca Winkler says
Me too, Sally–but I think if I keep making this I'll be able to use up the bottle happily ๐ Thanks so much!
Couscous & Consciousness says
I love Susan's blog too, and you made a really great choice. I have all the ingredients for this on hand too, so this might just happen one night this week.
Becky I truly loved being assigned to your blog this month and spending a bit of time looking through your recipes – there are so many that I have bookmarked that I want to try as the seasons roll around, and my chosen recipe – the Blueberry Buttermilk Ice Cream – was an absolute winner.
xo
Rebecca Winkler says
Thank you, Sue!! Loved your version of the ice cream and hope you do give this casserole a try ๐
Karen Kerr says
Looks bright and tasty! Fun that bacon can be on a special diet.
Rebecca Winkler says
Thanks, Karen! Yes, that's one of the perks of paleo :). Your comment did remind me to add a note about the bacon in the post, since the Whole30 only allows sugar-free bacon. Luckily it tastes pretty much the same!
Susan says
Yay I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Love the additions of sausage and kale, and calling it a breakfast casserole is brilliant. Thanks for visiting me this month ๐
Rebecca Winkler says
Thank you, Susan–I had a great time browsing your recipes! Happy reveal day ๐
