Veggie Egg Bake with Turkey Bacon tips…
Follow the tips below for the best Broccoli Cheddar Egg Bake experience!
- Grease your dish: This egg bake will most definitely stick to your baking dish if you do not. And let’s be honest … there’s not much worse then egg stuck on a baking dish or pan!
- Chop your broccoli small: I simply prefer my broccoli small in this recipe. I don’t like getting a big chunk of broccoli in my breakfast casserole, but if you don’t mind … chop to whatever size you’d like!
- Meal prep it: You can make this dish at the beginning of the week, store in the fridge, and have a healthy breakfast ready for the next several days.

This Egg Casserole Recipe is super customizable! Here are some of my swap and addition ideas.
- Different veggies: Bell pepper, zucchini, fresh garlic, etc. .. I think literally almost any vegetable would be delicious in this egg bake.
- Normal or no bacon: Feel free to use regular pork bacon instead of turkey … or just leave the meat out in total. Whatever you prefer!
- Cheese, cheese, cheese: Swap out the cheddar cheese for your favorite – Swiss, parmesan, or mozzarella are all great options
- Herbs & spices: The seasonings are pretty simple here, but you could spice things up or add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
How to best serve Broccoli Cheddar Egg Bake with Turkey Bacon…
You can simply serve this egg casserole as is. Just pop a square in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and enjoy on a busy morning!
You could top with hot sauce, ketchup, more cheese, salt & pepper, or whatever else you’d like. I also recommend rounding out the meal with some toast or a side of fruit. It’s satisfying, delicious, and all you need to start off the day on the right foot!

Thanks Christine! So glad you enjoyed! 🙂
I think this is too easy to prepare for your breakfast or dinner. Thanks for the recipe, I loved it.
What size pan?
Made this tonight..it was great. Pretty much followed exactly although to simplify I used a bag of frozen broccoli..sautéed with the onion as called for (used a whole onion). I eliminated the bacon (again just to cut down on time) and used thick cut deli smoked Black Forest ham. Put in a 9×13 pan and baked a bit longer because I like eggs overdone. I meant to add a bit of milk to my eggs to fluff them up, but forgot; turns out wasn’t necessary. I will definitely make again!

Changed up a bit. Mixed 1/2 low-fat cottage cheese and 1 cup Gruyère cheese with stick blender plus garlic powder. Used Canadian bacon and added chopped sweet red pepper. Topped with a hand full of white cheddar……delish. Thanks for idea.
Changed up a little bit?You wrote a new recipe
Make sure you grease the pan well, and my suggestion is use something smaller than a 9×13. I used a 9×13 and they came out very thin. Next time I will try a 9×9 or even 8×8!

I made the recipe doubled and added a bit of spinach and bellpepper to the onion and broccoli to get more veg in! Delish! Thanks !
