Ok, so this recipe has been a long long long time coming!
Way back when our church first started, like 18 months ago, we had a “all hands on deck” practice set up session. We are a portable church, so every Sunday we have three trailers that get hauled to the school we meet at, we unload the trailers and then set up church. And I mean SET UP CHURCH, everything from AV equipment and TV’s to children’s toys and coffee stir sticks.
Well, on the “practice day” a couple of ladies brought breakfast for everyone. And this one girl in particular brought a bunch of breakfast casseroles. Now, normally I’m not a fan. They always taste to bread-y and heavy to me. But I was hungry and they smelt good so I gave it a try.
Holy Hannah! They were so stinkin good, so of course I hit up my friend Sarah who made them and asked what she did. Then I told her I’m totally stealing it, changing it up and putting it on my blog. 🙂 And that’s what you have in front of you today!
Breakfast Casseroles don’t have to be heavy, loaded with cheese, meat and cream to taste good! In fact this casserole still has cheese, but just enough to satisfy. It’s loaded with veggies (as you can see from the pictures) and then I used egg whites instead of whole eggs to cut down on the calories..
Each serving in this recipe is only 75 calories! It’s seriously absurd, I actually ran the numbers twice just to be sure!
The crescent roll crust gives this casserole a buttery sweet taste but then mixed with the salty egg white veggie mixture on top it’s absolutely irresistible.
This Egg White Vegetable Breakfast Casserole is perfect for a brunch, especially around the holidays. If you want the meat, you could even add in a few strips of bacon. (ahem that is what my husband told me) That’s what is so great about this recipe. It is extremely versatile and can be changed to whatever you like, plus it takes minutes to whip up! Just make it. Trust me!
Bon Appetit friends!

My kids love the bread-y type breakfast casseroles but this one is all me!! Love all the veggies and getting to taste all the flavors without it being too heavy. Looks so good!
I made this this morning and it is really tasty! The crescent roll crust adds a good flavor to tie it all together. I ended up baking it about 40 minutes. My egg whites didn’t get distributed evenly and I like to cook on convection bake so I lowered the temperature to 375, both of which I think contributed to the longer cook time. That said, my bacon and sausage loving husband loved it and I will definitely make this again!
This is so beautifully colorful, and it looks delightful! It would be sooo perfect for special weekend brunch (or upcoming holidays)! Nice!
Next time I make a breakfast casserole, this will be it!
What a great way to change up breakfast! You can count me in!

This recipe is a God-send! I have a weird intolerance to cooked eggs, but not the whites. I get so bummed out that all the brunch recipes I see are egg based. I’m excited to try this! Thank you !
