    What are vegan eggs

    If you haven't been vegan for long, then maybe you're wondering what vegan eggs are. Let me just tell you that they have come a longgggggg way.

    From powdered egg mixtures, to tofu scrambles (which are still a go-to for me), vegan eggs have had a serious glow-up over the past few years.

    My go-to vegan eggs (and what I used for this recipe) are the Just Eggs. It is crazy how much they taste like real eggs (or at least what I remember real eggs tasting like), and they are available at so many stores these days.

    You can use their store locator to find a store that carries them near you.

    How to make this Vegan Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

    Once you have all of your veggies prepped, this casserole comes together super quick.

    Cook your veggies until tender, brown your vegan "meat", add it to a casserole dish (or cast iron skillet, like I did), layer the vegan eggs & tater tots on top and pop it in the oven.

    Once the eggs have set, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Top it all off with parsley and serve it up with ketchup & hot sauce on the side.

    This is the stuff vegan brunch dreams are made of!

    This Vegan Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole is loaded with vegan eggs, vegan sausage, tempeh bacon and veggies. The perfect vegan brunch or meal prep breakfast.
    Course Breakfast, brunch
    Cuisine American
    Keyword casserole, vegan eggs
    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Cook Time 50 minutes
    Total Time 1 hour
    Servings 6
    Calories 485kcal

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil separated
    • ½ yellow onion diced
    • 1 green bell pepper diced
    • 1 red bell pepper diced
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • salt & pepper to taste
    • 2 cloves garlic diced
    • 8 oz vegan breakfast "meat" I used a combo of tempeh bacon and frozen sausage patties
    • 4 oz vegan cream cheese
    • non-stick spray
    • 12 oz vegan egg liquid*
    • 1 bag frozen tater tots
    • parsley for topping

    Instructions

    • If you are using frozen vegan breakfast "meat", then set it out on a plate while you prep the veggies. It doesn't need to fully thaw.
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt & pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Push the veggies to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the empty side.
    • Add the vegan breakfast "meat" to the pan and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 3 minutes, or until browned. Combine the "meat" and veggies and turn the heat off. Add the cream cheese to the pan and stir until combined. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
    • Spray a 10" cast iron skillet** (or baking dish) with non-stick spray. Transfer the veggie/"meat" mixture to the skillet and press it down into the bottom of the skillet. Pour the vegan eggs over top. Starting on the outside, layer frozen tater tots on top of the vegan eggs until the entire casserole is covered.
    • Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the vegan eggs have set. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Top with parsley, cut and serve.

    Notes

    *I have only tested this recipe with Just Eggs. I don't know if any other brand will work the same way. You can find out where they sell Just Eggs near you with their location finder.
    **You can find my cast iron skillet here.
    ***TO MAKE AHEAD OF TIME: Prepare the casserole, but do not bake. Cover and place in the fridge. Follow baking instructions when you are ready to eat.

      Made it twice this week because my non-vegan family ate so much of it on Easter I didn’t have leftovers!!
      I used all vegan sausage, only did half a green pepper and added some mushrooms, and switched up the spices a bit just for my own personal tastes. It was easy to put together and absolutely delicious! I also baked mine in a pie dish instead of the cast iron (didn’t have one on hand) and it worked great!

      I just made this for my husband and OH MY LANTA it was amazing! We are already talking about different variations to try next time. Thank you so much for the good recipe. Tip for anyone that if you use a deep casserole dish to bake instead of a wider shallow one you will need a longer cook time and will have to quickly broil at the end to get the just egg to set.

      I have made breakfast casseroles before but this would be my first time doing it completely vegan. Question. Are there any other options to the vegan cream cheese because I’m allergic to all nuts?

        Hi Angela - you could do a little bit of vegan mayo. Or just omit it.

      Just made this for dinner and substituted a roasted poblano and roasted jalapeño for the other peppers. I wish I had thought to whisk in some nutritional yeast into the Just Egg before pouring into the skillet. This is a make again and again and again. Try it for dinner!

      I made this breakfast for dinner and made some changes. Instead of the peppers, I used broccoli, I also used 3 Beyond Meat spicy Italian sausages. I added some tofu and nutritional yeast to the egg mixture and topped it with Dayia cheese. It was amazing! Can’t wait to make it again.

          Hi Megan - just to clarify this is made using vegan eggs, not real eggs. But I don't have any substitutions for the vegan eggs at this time - you could try looking up a recipe for a chickpea flour "egg".

      I made this for some non-vegan family members in lieu of going out for breakfast, and they enthusiastically gobbled up the entire thing ~ raving about it the entire time. Definitely a keeper that I'll make again and again for special breakfasts.

      Yum! I loved this because it can be adapted to 1-2 servings in mini casserole dishes, I skipped the cream cheese and added queso instead - so delish and easy. This will be a new fav for breakfast and dinner!

      I recently discovered Just Egg, and truly, it is an embarrassingly, ridiculously awesome product! I've just been using it as a super welcome scrambled egg addition to my oil-free brown rice veggie stir fry and in breakfast burritos, but this tater tot pie recipe—sheesh, I'm ruined. I'll be making this dish this weekend for sure. It looks alarmingly delicious. I apologize for the preemptive "review" but I'll post again once I've actually made it. But, I can tell it looks good 😉
