Variations

There are many variations you can use when making a Pea, Mushroom, & Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole. You can add in different vegetables such as asparagus or roasted red peppers to give it an extra crunch. To make it even more protein-packed and healthy, you can also substitute the eggs for tofu scramble. If you like your breakfast dishes on the sweeter side, apples and pears make a great addition. For something savory and creamy, try substituting the goat cheese with Boursin cheese - it will keep all of the flavors intact while adding extra richness to the dish. The variations are truly endless - so don't be afraid to get creative and experiment!

Storage

An amazing breakfast casserole dish containing pea, mushroom and goat cheese can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to four days. Before storage, be sure to cool the casserole down to just above room temperature, wrap it with airtight plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and tightly seal it before placing it into storage. In order to keep food safe during storage, perishable items like this casserole should not stay refrigerated any longer than three to four days. After that, the safety of eating the dish can no longer be guaranteed.
