Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 375℉ and spray a deep 9x13 casserole pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
Sauté: In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat the pan and bring to medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon garlic and let cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell peppers and diced onions, sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Move around pan for 1-2 minutes, allowing to cook slightly. Add 1 pint mushrooms, if using, and allow to cook 1-2 minutes as well. Remove from heat and pour into casserole dish.
Casserole Dish: Add 20 ounces hash browns to casserole dish along with chopped bacon and then sprinkle with additional salt and pepper; stir to mix.
Egg Mixture: Crack 10 eggs in a medium mixing bowl and whisk. Set aside. Take a large, wide-mouthed mason jar and add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup coconut cream, 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 2 teaspoons dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon lemon juice - along with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Use an immersion blender to fully combine ingredients. Pour into same bowl as eggs and whisk again to combine.
Combine: Pour egg mixture over hash brown mixture in casserole dish. Stir to combine. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over top.
Bake: Move to the preheated oven for 45 minutes. You should be able to insert a knife and have it come out clean when it is done. If it isn't done after 45 minutes return to oven for 5 minute increments until fully cooked. Remove and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.
Serve: Enjoy with avocado or salsa, if desired.
Notes
Bacon: Feel free to sub ground sausage instead of bacon - use approximately the same amount and just cook beforehand. You could also use bacon AND sausage if you wanted to get real crazy :)
Oven-Baked Bacon: I like to cook my bacon in the oven on parchment at 375 for about 15-20 minutes (depending upon thickness), flipping halfway. I would prep my veggies, eggs, etc. while the bacon is cooking.
Feed a Crowd: This is perfect to make ahead for breakfast for the week OR for a big crowd of people! So filling and delicious!
Veggies: Feel free to really use any veggies you want!
Hashbrowns: I love using the Mr. Dell's Hashbrowns.
