    ingredients & substitutions

    Gluten-free bread:

    This Dairy Free Breakfast Casserole with bread uses gluten free bread to make it a gluten free recipe. Gluten-free bread is most often made with ingredients such as rice flour, corn flour, or tapioca flour. It has a slightly different taste and texture than regular bread, but it can be enjoyed by people who are gluten intolerant.

    If you do not have gluten free slices of bread you can use cut up gluten free bagels, cut up gluten free english muffins.

    If you are not gluten free you can use any bread you have!

    Eggs:

    Eggs are a good source of protein and choline, a nutrient that is important for brain development. They are also a good source of vitamins A, D, E, and K.

    Oat milk:

    Oat milk is a dairy-free milk alternative that is made from oats. It is a good source of fiber and vitamins A and B12. Oat milk has a creamy and slightly sweet taste that makes it a good substitute for dairy milk in many dishes.

    If you are not dairy free you can use any milk you have!

    Cheddar cheese:

    Dairy-free cheddar cheese is made without dairy milk. It is typically made with plant-based ingredients such as nuts, seeds, or coconut oil. Dairy-free cheddar cheese has a similar taste and texture to regular cheddar cheese, and it can be used in many of the same dishes.

    If you are not dairy free you can use regular dairy based cheese! I suggest cheddar but you can sub mozzarella or any other shredded cheese for this Dairy Free Breakfast Casserole with bread!

    Honey ham:

    Honey ham has a sweet and salty taste that makes it a good addition to breakfast casseroles. This ham is also a good source of protein and iron.
