This Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole is loaded with vegetables, eggs and cheese for a delicious brunch. Prepare this make ahead meatless breakfast casserole the night before.
Sauté the onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in a large skillet on medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, until they start to soften and most of the water has cooked away. Stir in the kale and remove from heat.
Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and ground black pepper together in a large bowl. Set aside.
Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish. Layer the croutons evenly on the bottom. Layer the vegetable mix on top of the croutons. Evenly layer the grated cheese on top of the vegetable mix. Gently pour the egg mixture on top. Cover and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, at least 8 hours.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 325°/160°C. Place the casserole in the middle of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the heat up to 350°C/176°C. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the egg is set. To check, insert a knife in the middle of the casserole and it should come out clean. If the casserole is browning too quickly, cover with a foil for the last bit of baking time.
Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
