Is it possible to say bacon, potato and casserole in the same sentence and think it’s healthy? Today’s recipe for a Healthy Bacon Egg Potato Casserole is based on a classic Amish country style breakfast classic that’s typically loaded with cheese and made with regular pork bacon.

I’ve taken this basic recipe and packed it with vegetables, lightened it up with low-fat cheese, non-fat cottage cheese and lean turkey bacon. Served on a bed of baby kale, it makes the perfect brunch that’s not only comforting, but healthy too.

My kids love brunch, so I’m always looking for new ideas that will satisfy their hearty appetites. This breakfast casserole would be delicious served with a fresh fruit salad.

I made this for the boys for brunch recently and they loved it. It’s hearty and packed with protein, so your belly will stay full longer. If you have extras, just cut the rest into individual portions for easy reheating.

    Mmmm. Perfect for brunch! We love breakfast casseroles at our house because they’re so much fun and easy to make, but incredibly tasty and satisfying. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely Friday and weekend! P.S. Wish I could meet you at IACP conference, but it just didn’t work out for this year due to my blood clot. For once, it was scheduled in my own backyard, Chicago, and not Timbucktu! Ugh. Have a wonderful time! xo

    This looks beyond delicious! I can’t WAIT to try this. Do you think it would work to assemble it the night before and then pop it in the oven in the morning?

      I haven’t tried assembling this ahead of time and baking it the next day – I’ve seen other recipes using eggs and potatoes that say you can assemble the night before. Let me know if you try it.

    Where do you find cure free and antibiotic free bacon? I really want to try this. It sounds very good and healthy, too.

      Shirley – there are several brands that I’ve found at the supermarket, including Applegate and D’artagnan.

    I love potatoes, especially fries. I know it would not be good for my health if I eat too much. It’s good that now I have another option: “BACON EGG POTATO BREAKFAST CASSEROLE”, it looks very attractive, important is it good for health, I am very rest assured, thank you for posting

    Hi Jeanette:
    This recipe is delicious! Just made it. Can I freeze individual portions then thaw and reheat?
    Thank you!!

      I think you could probably freeze individual portions of this although I’ve never tried doing that.
