I’m telling you, you won’t be sorry, because it is the best breakfast casserole. It’s.Just.So.Good! Not only that, it’s versatile. So add veggies, change up the “meat” filling, and it all works!
It’s great for large families or guests, and it’s great as leftovers. It’s perfect for holidays. You simply can’t go wrong with this recipe. The Badass Breakfast Casserole brings it.
Because breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
You’ve heard it before. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. It’s healthier that way.
And that’s what this breakfast casserole does. It makes you feel like a badass king! Because eating a nice big slice of this satisfying, delicious meal has all the taste and flavors you crave to start your day. And it’s vegan (making it, of course, the coolest casserole), but it doesn’t compromise. Everyone will love this.
Then, after enjoying this awesome meal, you’ll be ready to coast through the rest of your great day without getting the hungries soon after.
The Breakfast Casserole Composition
Casseroles are a great way to combine all the good stuff into one big dish. They can easily feed a lot of people, so they are much easier than individual meals for everyone. And that saves time.
Plus, the casserole for breakfast is a real winner because waking up to cold cereal isn’t nearly as exciting as getting up to a nice, hearty, warm meal.
Big YAY for casseroles!
Layer up the morning love in a dish!
Start with a layer of biscuits and add a layer of protein choices (like our Wakin’ and Makin’ Vegan Bacon or Gimme Lean Sausage). Then add some veggies. Now top with a hearty tofu scramble. Last, add a bit of vegan cheese, if you desire, or more sauteed onion, as I do. Boom! And there you have it! Everything you need to start your day, the badass breakfast way.
See how easy the assembly is:

Badass Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
Method
- Lightly grease a 7 x 11-inch pan (or use an 8×8). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add vinegar to soymilk and set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Either grate cold butter or slice butter into the flour mix. Blend together with a pastry blender, fingers, or a fork.
- Add soymilk-vinegar mix to the flour-butter mixture. Gently blend together but don't overmix.
- Pat lightly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Layer the thinly sliced Gimme Lean Sausage (or choice of Protein/Vegan Meat Substitute) over the biscuit layer, to cover.
- Spray or oil a large saute pan and heat on medium.
- Add onions (and green peppers if using) and cook until the onions are translucent and the pepper is soft. Sprinkle over the top of the "meat" layer.
- Crumble up or mash the tofu into a scrambled egg consistency, in a large bowl. Then add the rest of the scramble ingredients to the tofu and mix together well. Spread the tofu scramble over the veggie layer in the casserole pan.
- Add the optional layer of sauteed onions or vegan shredded cheese (or both). Spread this topping of your choice over the tofu scramble layer.
- Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and cook for 5 minutes more.
- Serve hot or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat as needed.
