Time isn’t always of the essence when it comes to mornings around my house. Whether it’s getting my kid ready for the day – or myself, I don’t love spending a ton of time in the kitchen.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t make time to eat. Even on a gluten-free dairy-free diet, breakfast time is important in our house.
If you think that just because you’re gluten and dairy-free that you can’t enjoy the ease of throwing some ingredients together and tossing it in the oven while you continue on your frantic pace to move things along in the morning, you’re wrong.
Breakfast casseroles are an awesome pseudo shortcut to getting a tasty and hearty breakfast to the table without having to spend tons of time actually IN the kitchen.
You might think it’s tricky to actually have a dairy and gluten-free breakfast casserole, because so many of them use bread, milk, and cheese in the ingredients.

You’re right – it definitely takes a little bit of know-how to make the proper swaps to make it work. BUT it’s totally do-able – and I’m determined to show you in this recipe roundup blog post.
Inside this gluten-free dairy-free breakfast recipe roundup, I’ve gathered up some of the best recipes I could find that fit the needs of a hearty breakfast full of things like eggs, bacon, or sausage – without all that bread, cheese, and milk that we stay away from on a gluten and dairy-free diet.
I’ve included recipes ranging from sweet to savory, Mexican to pizza dairy and gluten-free breakfast casseroles.
There are even French toast, oatmeal, sweet potato, and veggie breakfast casseroles. So many options – so many delicious healthy gluten-free breakfast casserole recipes to try!
As you make your way through this recipe roundup, you’ll want to be sure you’ve got everything you need for whipping up any one of these recipes when you know you have friends coming over, have some serious getting ready to do, or when you’re asked to bring a dish to brunch.
These recipes are also great for holidays, like Thanksgiving breakfast or Christmas brunch, because many of them can be made ahead of time. Below are my top 10 tools to keep on hand for any breakfast casserole creation.
