    This is one of my go-to Christmas morning breakfasts. I love that I can make it ahead of time, just pull it out on Christmas morning, pop it in the oven while the girls open gifts, and when all the fun settles...breakfast is ready!

    What you'll need to make this breakfast casserole:

    • Turkey sausage
    • Eggs
    • Avocado oil
    • Onion
    • Shredded hashbrowns
    • Unsweetened coconut milk
    • Shredded cheddar, OR dairy-free cheddar
    • Salt

    How to make this Dairy Free Breakfast Casserole

    This easy breakfast comes together so quickly and easily. Simply, brown the sausage, then combine all ingredients in large bowl. Mix everything together, then pour in baking dish, cover, and refrigerate until it's time to bake it! So easy!

    Can Breakfast Casserole be Made Ahead?

    Yes! In fact, that is EXACTLY why this recipe is a favorite of mine! You can make this breakfast casserole up to 8-12 hours ahead of time.  My favorite way is to make it on Christmas Eve after dinner, then let it chill overnight and bake it Christmas morning!

    Is this Dairy Free Breakfast Casserole also Gluten-Free?

    Yes! This breakfast dish is a perfect option for those avoiding gluten and daily. This casserole is naturally gluten-free, and also dairy-free as long as you choose a dairy-free cheese. However, if you are not trying to avoid dairy, you can certainly use milk, and regular cheese as well.
