My sister in law introduced us to her Aunt’s amazing breakfast casserole years ago. We ate it for Christmas morning breakfast every year and for so many other meals too! Ever since going Vegan, I really wanted to see if I could make this delicious nostalgic meal cruelty free, the best I could.
I fucking nailed it, y’all. Like, all of my vegan nostalgic comfort food cravings have been fulfilled! Eat this. Don’t wait. Just do it. Nike.
Be sure to watch the video for more tips and fun!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups garbanzo bean flour (chickpea flour)
- 1/2 tsp each of baking powder, salt and pepper
- 2 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tbsp extra Virgin Olive oil (EVOO)
- 1 red onion
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 8oz package vegan breakfast sausage (I used lightlife but you do you boo)
- 8oz package vegan shredded cheese (I did goveggie but again, just do what you like)
- 2 tubs crescent rolls (check your ingredients to make sure it’s vegan but most are)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut veggies and set aside.
- Combine garbanzo bean flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
- Then add the water and EVOO and mix until combined. Set aside.
- Brown the breakfast sausage and sauté veggies, all in one pan on medium heat.
- In a 13×9 greased pan, put one of the crescent roll packages in the bottom of the pan.
- Mix garbanzo bean mixture, which is your ‘eggs’ with your sausage/veggie mixture and all of your cheese. Pour that on top of the crescents in the pan.
- Then put the second tube of crescent rolls on top.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes, but remember that every oven varies, so keep an eye on it but also don’t be afraid to cook longer if you think it needs it.
- Enjoy!
Midnight Munchies & More! 
I made this this morning. It’s really good. I live alone do you think I could freeze it?

I’ve never done it personally but I don’t see why not, as long as it packaged up well!

Can you tell me if this would be a good dish to make ahead? I would like to make the night before for an upcoming brunch. Would you reheat in oven?
Thank you!

I normally prep the veggies and vegan meat ahead and then throw it altogether the next morning when I make ahead

Thanks for a great recipe! I made as written above but next time I might try a bacon-mushroom-spinach version. Only problem I had was middle not being cooked through so I think I’ll have to tent next time.

I have made this several times now and it’s a huge hit.
Any thoughts about converting the filling mixture into a quiche? I was thinking I would only need about half of the filling to fit a pie shell. Thoughts on if this could work and on altering the baking time?
I’m hoping to make for my Omni parents for Mother’s day brunch.

Ya’ll. FOR. REALZ. YA’LL!!! This stuff is The. Bomb. I had to STOP myself from eating WAYYYYY more than was a healthy portion. I subbed mushrooms for the peppers, cause, “Gurl, do anything your heart desires!” So, I did cause, “A little more flavor, BB!!” Also, the store only had 1 can of crescent rolls so I put biscuits on the top and I have to say, BETTER!!!
Woman, you CRACK. ME. UP. which makes cooking WAAYYY more fun! So even if you don’t make the recipe (which, WHY?!?!?) go watch the video like soooo-ahhh! and have a little laugh. “You know you have a good time!!”
