This vegan breakfast casserole uses a homemade vegan omelette mix of silken tofu and chickpea flour to create a delicious plant-based alternative to the popular breakfast casserole. We’ve used sausages, mushrooms, and pepper as fillings, along with a base of hash browns.
Stir fry or air fry the sausages until golden brown, then cut them into 6 pieces each.
Sauté the onions with a tablespoon of water. Add the mushrooms and stir fry on medium-high heat until excess water has evaporated, roughly 5-10 minutes.
Add the pepper and for another few minutes until the mushrooms have started to brown and the pepper is softening.
Blend. Stir in the silken tofu, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric, kala namak, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a blender and blend until well combined and smooth.
Pour the tofu mix into a large bowl, add the onion, mushrooms, and pepper, and fold until combined.Hint: use the same pot you used for the veggies and/or sausages to combine the silken tofu mixture to drag that extra flavor.
Lay the hash browns on the bottom of your casserole dish, then pour over the omelette mix. Evenly place the vegan sausages on top and poke them into the mix.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway through. Uncovered.
Top it. If using vegan cheese, top with the cheese, then return to the oven for another 15 minutes. If not using cheese, just leave it in the oven for a total 60 minutes of cooking time.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 15 minutes to help the omelette mix settle.
Serve warm.

Notes
Overnight Storage: Prepare this hash brown breakfast casserole in advance and keep it refrigerated overnight. For best results, warm it up in the oven or air fryer at a medium-low setting for 15-20 minutes to regain its crispiness.Moisture Maintenance: To prevent the casserole from drying out, always store it in the refrigerator. If it appears dry, lightly sprinkle a few tablespoons of water over it before reheating.Freezing Advisory: Freezing this casserole is not recommended as the silken tofu may lose its texture. Enjoy it fresh or from refrigerated storage for optimal taste and consistency.
