Broccoli Cheddar Hash Brown Bake is an easy meatless breakfast casserole filled with broccoli, cheddar, eggs and shredded hash brown potatoes! {gluten free, make ahead}
With the many celebratory and holiday brunches on the horizon, quick and easy crowd-pleasing recipes are a must. Overnight casseroles, such as baked French toast or egg bakes, are always popular. This Overnight Blueberry Baked French Toast is one of our favorite brunch recipes! It is easy to make and satisfies the sweet portion of our menu. To satisfy the savory side, I have been experimenting with different varieties of meatless egg bake recipes to come up with a savory breakfast casserole the whole family will love. Broccoli Cheddar Hash Brown Bake has become a favorite that will be featured regularly throughout this busy brunch season and beyond.
Broccoli Cheddar Hash Brown Bake is a wonderful meatless breakfast casserole made with broccoli, cheddar and shredded hash browns. Not only is it simple and delicious, but this recipe could not be any easier to make. Simply saute onion, garlic and then toss in some steamed broccoli. Stir eggs, milk, cheese, shredded hash brown potatoes and the rest of the ingredients and then pour the mixture into a casserole pan to bake (or cover and refrigerate overnight to bake the next day).
One of the keys to making this recipe so quick and easy is using Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. They are easy to prepare and to have on hand at all times – no peeling or shredding required, which is such a time saver! They taste fresh too, which is probably due to the fact that they are sold fresh, never frozen.
Broccoli Cheddar Hash Brown Bake takes a matter of minutes to prepare and then bakes into a delicious cheesy, meatless breakfast casserole that will soon become a family favorite!
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Herb Baked Eggs is my favorite brunch recipe
I love those Simply Potato hash browns! What a great way to make them even more flavorful! My favorite brunch food is eggs benedict. With hash browns of coarse. 🙂
Like you said this is so easy!! It is not just perfect for brunch, but if you paired it with a salad it would make a great meatless entree.
This looks awesome! My favorite brunch recipe is a scallion and mushroom frittata.
Nothing beats this combo of flavors. I could devour that entire casserole on my own. Pinned.
This sounds amazing – I’d love a plateful of it right now!
This looks amazing! I am a fan of any egg dish, but a Benedict is my favorite. Bonus points if it is something a little creative.

I’ve made a similar brunch recipe with eggs, cheese, potatoes, etc. It was a hit!
I love a good frittata!
I like cheesy hashbrowns with some diced ham or sausage.
What a lovely and simple brunch dish! I’ve used hash browns instead of a flour crust for mini-quiche too – it works great and is a nice way to make sure that gluten-free guests can eat the main dish.
Yum! I pinned this on Breakfast but I would also make it for dinner!
This looks fantastic! The perfect start to any day!
I like overnight oven french toast.
I love home fries and an omelet
Fruit Salad
I see nowhere in the recipe where the egg whites are used. Can someone please tell me? Thanks
Hi Lynn, sorry for any confusion. They are whisked in with the eggs. Thanks for the heads up – I have updated the recipe accordingly.
