Zucchini Breakfast Casserole

JT  18 Comments

So if I named this what it actually is, it would be too long to fit in the title, so I’ll stick with Zucchini Breakfast Casserole.  I threw this together in about 10 minutes and it was amazing with what I had in the house.  I topped it with some fresh farm nitrate free bacon and it was amazing.  This is my new go to breakfast for leftover meats like chicken, steak, etc.  You can also substitute the chicken with whatever meat you want, you just have to precook it.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, I ate half of a 9×13 inch pan of it.  Enjoy :)

      I don’t provide nutritional information on my website. It is available through my app, Caveman Feast, or through a site like my fitness pal.

    This looks so good- I think I’m going to slice the zucchini with a mandolin lengthwise and grill the slices first to dry them out and use them for the crust

    The ingredient list says one zucchini. How many cups does that translate to? Zucchini comes in a lot of sizes! Don’t want to overwhelm the recipe and have a runny result.

      This was a small zucchini, I will measure cups next time I make this recipe. 1-2 cups would be perfect

    I topped this with a little Franks Red Hot and it’s the perfect breakfast! I made it the night before and it’s great reheated. Love it!

      You could but you would need to mix it again in the morning before putting it in the oven. May just be easier to prep everything the night before, then out it altogether in the morning, then into the oven.

      If you mean completely cook it the night before and eat in the morning, yes. You can eat it cold (if you don’t mind cold eggs) or you can reheat it. This is basically a frittata, with fewer steps, which is always a good thing in my book! I usually make a frittata, but I tried this casserole method and definitely like how it saves a few steps. I used 1 pound of ground sausage (that we are lucky to get from a local farmer just ground pork and seasonings). I also don’t have a julienne peeler, so just used the larger shredding disk on the food processor. The casserole came out great. I ate a piece for lunch, divided the rest up, and will also be serving to my 9 year old daughter for her breakfast a few of the days this week. She probably won’t eat it cold, but no big deal to pop a piece into the toaster oven and warm it up. I cooked the sausage with some beef tallow that I had skimmed from making bone broth a couple of months ago. Froze individual tablespoon sized portions of that. This should be a nice, filling breakfast with the carbs from the zucchini and onion, fats from the pastured pork sausage and the beef tallow, and the protein from the eggs and the sausage.

    I made this today for breakfast over the next few days. I ended up eating some for dinner. It’s delicious! Now, I’m about to put get some pork ready for the crock pot in the morning to make your pulled pork with Beasty BBQ sauce. Can’t wait!
