Vegetarian Breakfast Casseroles FAQs
What’s the difference between a breakfast casserole and a frittata?
Breakfast casseroles and frittatas are very similar, as they’re both egg-based and baked. However, there are some main differences between the two dishes. Breakfast casseroles usually contain some sort of starch, usually in the form of hash browns, croutons, cracker crumbs, flour, or torn pieces of bread like croissants, biscuits or brioche. Also, frittatas are baked in a skillet, and breakfast casseroles are baked in a roasting pan.
Which of these vegetarian breakfast casseroles are also gluten-free?
Our vegetable frittata and colorful brunch frittata are the vegetarian breakfast casseroles on this list that are also gluten-free. If you need more vegetarian and gluten-free mains on the breakfast table, bake up our gluten-free cinnamon rolls, customizable baked oatmeal (just be sure to use certified gluten-free oats) or zucchini frittata.
How can you make a high-protein vegetarian breakfast casserole?
To make a high-protein vegetarian breakfast casserole, include protein-rich ingredients like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. These ingredients can take the place of sour cream or cream cheese. In savory casseroles, add cooked and rinsed beans with the veggies and cheese.
