You know I am all about breakfast lately! I am also all about meals that I can make ahead and enjoy for a few days. Today I am bringing you my take on a Vegetarian Breakfast Lasagna that will satisfy everyone at your house. It is perfect for everyday or for your holiday guests. This vegetarian breakfast lasagna is loaded with heart healthy eggs and protein to fill you up and keep you going all morning.
As a vegetarian, I am a big fan of eggs for breakfast. They provide a huge amount of protein and healthy fats that fuel my workouts and keep me full all morning. Oftentimes, I will also make something like this Vegetarian Breakfast lasagna for dinner and then eat it for breakfast for a few days.
I’ve used thinly sliced baking potatoes here for the “noodle” layer and added some vegetarian crumbles to add a hearty “meat like” consistency. If you were making this for non vegetarians, you could easily use another meat protein and it would work just as well.
I like to prep all of my ingredients and utensils before I start cooking. By the way, I am completely obsessed with these great Rachel Ray casserole dishes and now have them in 2 colors and sizes. I use them for everything!
Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 2 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes
- 8 Eggsland Best Eggs extra large or jumbo
- splash of milk
- 2 cups of spinach-lightly sauteed
- 1 1/2 cups part skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup of veggie crumbles
- salt, pepper, oregano to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375
- Microwave potatoes for 3 minutes in order to soften up
- Cut potatoes into thin slices
- Spray casserole dish with cooking spray or coat with olive oil
- Spoon a small amount of tomatoes into bottom of dish
- Add a single layer of potato
- follow with tomatoes
- 1/2 amount of spinach
- 1/3 of cheese
- repeat as you would a traditional lasagna
- on the top layer add veggie crumbles and chesse
- In a mixing bowl: whisk together eggs and spices with a splash of milk
- Pour eggs over top of layers
- Bake for about 40 minutes until eggs have solidified
- Let rest for 5 min before serving
- Can make in advance and warm up to serve
I thought it tasted even better the next day! You might even fool some meat eaters with this one. Hope you enjoy!
I am entering this recipe into a contest with Eggland’s Best eggs. I was not compensated in any way for this post and all the yummy ideas are my own as always.
Do you like breakfast casseroles? What do you think of using potatoes in this one?
Thanks for joining me and Sarah for Meatless Monday today!

Deborah Brooks says
Thanks hope you enjoy!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
This sounds amazing and I have pinned it!
Obviously from my post today I am not a vegetarian, but the majority of my meals are. So there are a lot of eggs in my breakfasts, too.
Deborah Brooks says
Eggs are the best for breakfast aren’t they?
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
Doesn’t this look yummy! What a yummy way to mix up lasagna. Any kind of breakfast bake you can assemble ahead is good in my book.
Deborah Brooks says
I am really into breakfast right now!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Wow! That looks yummy, and I bet even non-veggies would eat that one! Do you cook separately for your family or do they eat vegetarian too?
Deborah Brooks says
I think non veggies would eat it too and you could add ham into it but don’t tell anyone I said that. I often cook separate meals for myself and eat them for a few days. The rest of my family is not vegetarian but sometimes they will eat my stuff too.
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
Breakfast casseroles are great for making to bring to a breakfast or brunch gathering. This looks like a great one!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much! Would be a great one for you to make and have around for a few days
Annmarie says
Jump out of bed?! I kinda want to jump IN bed with it 😉 Hehe. Looks delish!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha that works too!
Courtney says
This sounds so good! My family loves an egg-based breakfast and I’m sure they’ll go crazy for this one.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much hope they enjoy it!
Michelle Rogers says
I love eggs for breakfast, too. In fact, that’s what I have every day. But it’s easy to get into a rut with that if you have it the same way all the time. So thanks for posting this — I keep forgetting there are so many things you can do with them!
Deborah Brooks says
So many things to do! I have lots of egg recipes to keep me interested

Yum! This would even be a great brunch meal!

Jess @hellotofit says
Mmm breakfast lasagna?! I’m totally down!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks!
Chaitali says
This sounds delicious! We actually made a similar egg casserole last week and had it for dinner a couple nights. That one used shredded hash browns instead of sliced potatoes. Breakfast for dinner really is a nice and easy option 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
I love breakfast for dinner!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
WOW! This looks amazing!! I think my boyfriend would really love this one!
Deborah Brooks says

Deborah Brooks says
Ha thanks! The potatoes worked really well I will be making this often
Sarah says
Oh this looks delicious! Great for a lazy weekend morning. I may just have to make it Saturday if I get to the grocery store when we get in Friday, or just see if my mom can pick up what we need to have on hand when I get home.
Happy Meatless Monday!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I hope you and the kids like it!

Almost like my breakfast casserole which you could make meatless (by removing the bacon/ham/sausage).
Deborah Brooks says
Sure you can really add anything into it and it works
Mary Long says
YUM! Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. This just reminded me of my early mornings at Pizza Hut back in the day. We used to make breakfast pizza with the pan pizza crust. I used to think it was the best thing I had ever tasted.
Deborah Brooks says
I bet it was good!
Jenn says
Yum! I love breakfast dishes that can be reheated for leftovers like this. Sounds delicious!
Deborah Brooks says
I do too! Thanks hope you all enjoy
Christina says
Wow! I’ve eaten leftover lasagna for breakfast before, but never like this. What a brilliant, healthy and delicious idea! I could totally see making this for a Sunday morning, and enjoying the leftovers through the week for a quick breakfast.
Deborah Brooks says
Absolutely that would work great!
Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner says
Oh this looks amazing!
Never would have thought o a lasagna like this for breakfast!
Right now I am on this (boring) protein shake diet for breakfasts, but eventually when that ends I will need healthy choices like this. I’ll pin it to try later! Thanks!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much hope you do!
Lucie says
Yum! I seriously need to try to make this vegan for myself because it looks like the perfect breakfast 🙂 Or lunch or dinner for that matter 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
I’d love to know if you figure out how to do that! Cheese and eggs are the reason I am not vegan but vegetarian. Link up with us sometime!
dixya @ food,pleasure, and health says
i’d totally be up for this casserole anytime.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much!
Lex @ Flecksoflex says
I had never heard of breakfast lasagna before, but per usual, you have taught me something new! This sounds like such a delicious breakfast dish, and I always love things that I can store and reheat the next day. Thanks for sharing!

You are so sweet! I hope you give it a go!
Rachel says
