Ingredients:
- 3 cups frozen shredded gluten-free hashbrowns
- 2 cups cooked, cubed ham, bacon, or sausage
- 1 bunch chopped green onions (about 1 cup total, including both the green and white parts)
- 4 eggs
- One 12-ounce can evaporated coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Spanish Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 1/2 cups dairy free cheddar “cheese”, shredded (substitute organic grass fed cheddar cheese – “if tolerated”)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Spray an 8×8 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked ham cubes and chopped green onions over the hashbrowns.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated coconut milk, hot sauce, smoked Spanish paprika, and ground black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham, hashbrowns, and green onions in the baking dish.
- Top the casserole with the shredded dairy free cheddar “cheese”, ensuring an even layer across the top.
- Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the dairy free “cheese” is golden brown and the eggs are set.
- If there appears to be excess liquid in the casserole, continue baking for additional time until the liquid is fully absorbed and the casserole is cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into squares.
- Serve the breakfast casserole immediately, pairing it with your favorite sides or enjoying it on its own. This casserole pairs wonderfully with our homemade cinnamon roll recipe for a complete breakfast spread!
