Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 cup pre-cooked turkey sausage, diced
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 5 large eggs

Dairy and Milk

  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup plant-based milk

Bread and Vegetables

  • 4 cups cubed day-old bread
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers

Seasonings and Others

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meats and Vegetables: Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp, letting the fat render to flavor the vegetables. Sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers in the remaining drippings until soft and fragrant.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, natural seasonings (salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika), and natural gelling agent. Stir in the cubed bread, cooked turkey sausage, smoked turkey bacon, sautéed vegetables, and shredded plant-based cheddar cheese until fully combined.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set firm but still moist inside.
  4. Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set further for clean slicing and enhanced flavor melding before serving.

Notes

  • Use stale, day-old bread for better absorption of moisture and flavors, preventing sogginess.
  • Stir gently when combining ingredients to keep bread cubes intact for a better texture.
  • Cook all meats thoroughly to ensure safety and develop deep flavors.
  • Let the casserole rest after baking for easier slicing and improved flavor.
  • Customize seasonings to suit your preferences for a perfect flavor balance.
