This Potatoes O’Brien Breakfast Casserole is perfect for a family breakfast, brunch, or meal prep.

It’s a delicious vegetarian breakfast but you can easily add turkey sausage or ham if you’re a meat lover.

If you’re looking for a low point breakfast option, you’ve found it!

You only need a handful of ingredients to make this easy breakfast casserole.

The Ingredients

Potatoes O’Brien: I bought frozen Potatoes O’Brien from the grocery store. You want to let them thaw before using them.

Three cups of Potatoes O’Brien only adds 6 points to the recipe.

Eggs: I used 6 eggs for this recipe. They’re a great source of protein and will help keep you full longer.

Skim Milk: Mixing milk with the eggs helps to create a creamy, custardy texture. Using skim milk helps to lower the points while still giving the casserole a smooth and soft consistency throughout the dish.

Shredded Cheese: I used reduced-fat Mexican cheese. It’s a lightened up combination of monterey jack, cheddar, colby, and mozzarella. You can also use reduced fat cheddar cheese.

Seasonings: I used salt and garlic powder to season the casserole.

How to Make Potatoes O’Brien Breakfast Casserole

Make sure you thaw the frozen Potatoes O’Brien before making the casserole. I usually leave them in the fridge the night before I’m making it.

Add the eggs, skim milk, garlic powder, and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together.

Spray an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the thawed Potatoes O’Brien in the bottom of the baking dish.

Top the potatoes with the reduced-fat Mexican cheese.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes and cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the middle.

Serving Suggestions

A bowl of fresh fruit is a great 0 point option to serve with this breakfast casserole. Strawberries, blueberries, and melon add a refreshing contrast to the savory casserole.

For those who enjoy a touch of sweetness in their breakfast, a side of low point toast with sugar-free jam can complement the savory flavors perfectly.

If you’re serving this for brunch a crisp green salad is a great idea. You can use mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette to keep the meal both healthy and delicious.

For an added twist, you can serve the casserole with some side condiments like salsa or hot sauce. These additions can bring a bit of heat and an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley can also elevate the presentation and taste.

Meal Prep Tips

Meal prepping can be a lifesaver, especially on busy mornings, and the Potatoes O’Brien Casserole is an ideal dish for make-ahead meals.

To ensure that you always have a delicious and nutritious breakfast ready to go, follow these simple tips for storing and reheating your casserole.

After baking, allow the casserole to cool completely. This is crucial as it helps to prevent condensation from forming, which can make your dish soggy.

Once cooled, you can store the casserole in the refrigerator by placing it in airtight containers. These containers will keep your casserole fresh for up to four days, making it perfect for weekday breakfasts.
