Casseroles are great for weekend breakfasts, brunches, or special gatherings like a baby shower or family gathering.  It’s one of my favorite breakfast dishes, especially when we have a crowd over for breakfast.

Ingredients

What are substitutions that I can make?

With this versatile egg casserole recipe, you can use sausage or crumbled bacon in place of ham. Not a fan of cheddar cheese? Switch it up based on your taste preference. If you like a little extra spice, add a little salsa to the avocado and tomato mixture. One of our favorite substitutions is to swap out the hash browns with tater tots!

Ingredients

A California Breakfast Casserole is the perfect recipe to together the night before, store overnight in the fridge, then bake it in the morning. And it’s ideal for company because it makes 12 generous servings. Serve with a side of fruit or toast and you have a healthy, hearty breakfast that everyone will love!

4- Layer your greased casserole dish, start with the hash browns and add half of the diced tomato and half of the diced avocado. It’s ok if your tomatoes and avocado don’t cover your hash browns as long as they are spread out evenly.

5- Pour your egg mixture over the layers
