Recipe Pro Tips:
Do not let your breakfast casserole bake to overcook - you would recognize this if the top of your casserole has turned brown.
For a Whole30 compliant breakfast casserole bake, substitute the milk of choice with the liquid portion of full-fat coconut milk and the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast!
You can also substitute the potato hash browns with sweet potato hash browns if you would like.
Storing Leftover Casserole:
For starters, make sure that your casserole has cooled completely down to room temperature before attempting to store it safely away.
Then, find yourself a food-safe airtight storage container.
Place your leftover breakfast bake inside and seal it up.
Place it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating Your Leftovers:
To reheat your leftover gluten-free casserole squares, simply place a square in a microwave-safe dish with a loose-fitting cover on it so that your microwave doesn't get splattered.
Microwave on high power for 45-90 seconds, depending on how hot you like your leftovers to be.
Then enjoy this dish a second time!
