Quick to prep and naturally gluten free, it’s ideal for busy mornings or make-ahead meals. Leftover gluten free egg bake stores and reheats well, making it a great option for meal prep. Plus, it all goes into a single baking dish, so there’s not too much washing up (yay!).
Ingredients and substitutions
Eggs: I like to use large eggs at room temperature – it just makes them easier to whisk up. For a fluffier texture, you can beat them well before mixing.
Oat milk (or milk of choice): Use unsweetened oat milk for a subtle, neutral flavor, or go for another dairy-free or regular milk depending on your preference.
Turkey bacon: I love this as a leaner alternative to traditional bacon; turkey bacon has a savory, smoky flavor without the extra fat. Cook until crisp for the best texture in your Gluten Free Breakfast Bake.
Gluten-free baguette: This soaks up the egg mixture. Use a day-old gluten-free baguette if possible—it holds up better.
Cheddar cheese, shredded: Melts beautifully and adds sharp, comforting flavor throughout the dish. You can mix in other cheeses if you like.
Salt and pepper: It’s super important to season the gluten free egg bake mixture well.
Directions (step by step)
Make the egg mixture: Crack the eggs into a bowl, then add the milk. Whisk until well combined, and season with salt and pepper.
Fill the baking dish: Pour the egg mixture into a baking dish.
Cook the turkey bacon: Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces and cook it in a pan or air fryer until crispy. Drain any excess grease.
Add the toppings: Layer the baguette slices over the egg mixture, then sprinkle with the cooked bacon and shredded cheese.
Bake the Gluten Free Breakfast Bake: Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
