The mouthwatering combination of Just Egg, zucchini, vegan cheese, and shredded hash all nestled on a crescent dough creates a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. Whether you're serving brunch or preparing a make-ahead breakfast, this casserole is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

Let's dive into the details of this hearty and satisfying breakfast dish:

                                                 **Cook Time**: (Approximately 30-35 minutes)

**Ingredients:**

For the Crescent Dough Base:

  • 1 can (8 oz) vegan crescent dough

For the Sautéed Veggie Mixture:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (color of your choice), diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cubed or grated
  • 1 cup shredded hash browns (thawed if using frozen)
  • 1 cup mushrooms

For the "Egg" Mixture:

  • 2 cups Just Egg (equivalent to about 16 oz)
  • 1 cup vegan cheese, shredded (cheddar or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black salt (kala namak) for an eggy flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for added depth)

**Instructions:**

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Crescent Dough Base:

    • Roll out the crescent dough and press it into the base of a greased casserole dish, creating an even layer. Ensure that the dough covers the bottom and slightly up the sides of the dish. You can sprinkle some agave on the dough for a bit of sweetness!

  3. Sauté the Veggies:

    • In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers until softened. Add the grated zucchini and continue cooking until the veggies are tender. Stir in the shredded hash browns last, ensuring everything is well-mixed.

  4. Assemble the Casserole:

    • Spread the sautéed veggie mixture evenly over the crescent dough base.

  5. Create the "Egg" Mixture:

    • In a bowl, combine Just Egg, vegan cheese, black salt, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast if using. Pour this "egg" mixture over the sautéed veggies, ensuring even coverage.

  6. Bake to Golden Perfection:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the "egg" mixture is set.

  7. Let it Rest:

    • Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the "egg" mixture set further.

  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Slice the casserole into squares and serve warm. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, or your favorite hot sauce if desired.
