Instructions

2. Tear 4 or so slices of bread into bite sized pieces. You want a layer in the bottom of the baking dish about an inch thick. Add a layer of shredded hash brown potatoes covering bread pieces.
3. Dice the veggie sausage, about 2 pieces should be sufficient for your low fat breakfast. If you would like to add any diced vegetables to your low fat breakfast, such as diced green peppers or onions, do so now. Pour an 8 ounce container of Egg Beaters original evenly over casserole to coat.
4. Sprinkle the low fat breakfast casserole with Veggie Shreds shredded . Veggie Shreds is a great low fat alternative to cheese, the flavor is great! Keep in mind, though, that it does not melt the same way regular cheddar cheese does.
