Having a crowd over for brunch, or just feel like a veggie-filled breakfast? Bake this hearty breakfast for all to enjoy. This classic casserole includes white or sweet potatoes, bright red tomatoes and plenty of greens and mushrooms.
White potatoes aren't for everyone, and if that's you, use sweet potatoes instead. Both types of potato will compliment this casserole, so no flavors will be lost by choosing one over the other.
This filling breakfast would be ideal for reheating during the week but can be enjoyed over a weekend breakfast or brunch, too.
While this dish includes protein from the eggs, fat from the cooking fat and eggs, and plenty of veggies, feel free to add sausage or bacon to the casserole or serve on the side. You can opt to serve it with a refreshing side of fruit salad, too!
