A Breakfast Bake is a great breakfast to feed a crowd and even better that you can just dump everything in and leave it. So easy for busy school mornings too - just put it in the oven as everyone is waking up. Sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, kale and eggs make up this easy breakfast traybake, but it is easy to adapt too.
There is just something about having iron packed kale for breakfast that makes me feel full of energy for the rest of the day. Add it to the tomatoes and mushrooms in this and you are well on your way to getting your 5-a-day before you have even headed out the door.
What is so good about kale? How about everything! It's a great source of potassium, vitamin E, calcium and most importantly, iron.

Breakfast bake
We love making this when we have guests to stay, as it's the ultimate lazy weekend breakfast to feed a crowd. Who wants to be stuck in the kitchen cooking when everyone is laughing at the antics of the night before over coffee? Not me!
It's also a great option for busy school mornings too. If you are up before everyone else, throw this all in to a tray and pop it in the oven before everyone is up. By the time the kids are ready and down the stairs, this will be on the table. A hearty and filling breakfast before school.
Breakfast casserole
You just dump everything in and you can make a few different trays so there is something for everyone. We usually do a vegetarian one with meat-free sausages and then a meaty one with bacon in it too - that always goes down well.
Breakfast bake options
This breakfast bake is really easy to adapt, so there is a little something for everyone in there. You could swap the vine tomatoes with big tomatoes (just halve them) and you could swap the kale for other greens like spinach, shard of cabbage.
You can use any mushrooms you like, and a variety like shiitake, button and mini Portobello would be good. Cut them to different sizes to mix things up a bit.
What to serve with this
You know what goes perfectly with this (apart from a giant cup of coffee)? Some of our homemade healthy tomato ketchup. Or you could make a batch of Healthy BBQ Sauce to go with it.
We would usually serve this breakfast bake with some delicious sour dough bread (perfect for dipping in those runny yolks), but our Oven Baked Hash Browns would go really well with this too if you had a little extra time to make them, or some in the freezer.
Extra tips
- Homemade BBQ Sauce or Ketchup is perfect for dipping this in.
- Serve with sourdough bread or homemade hash browns
- You could easily swap the vegetarian sausages for meat sausages, but cooking times would vary.
- We added kale to ours, but other greens like spinach, shard or cabbage would work too.

When you wrote tray bake I imagined a muesli/seed/flapjack type thing...but this is so much better in my opinion! Yum!! Whenever I go on holiday I always treat myself to a fry-up meal. It takes so much effort to make one at home that's it's just nice to order one and have it done for you. But I love this recipe that you literally just bung everything in one tray!
Mollie Webb
This looks delicious Dannii. I need to get more greens in to my meals, so I am going to try this with spinach (I am not a fan of kale).
Zoe
What eggs do you use? The yolk is so bright and orange.
Lucy
We had this for breakfast this morning, although I added in some chopped up bacon and it was lush. So easy to make and it was cooking whilst I got the kids ready. Thank you :)
Ashley
I just love that you can throw everything on one pan! What a great way to start the day! And switch up my normal breakfast routine.
Sona
This looks so good... Looks very delicious...!!!

Dannii I seriously want to drop everything and make this tray bake NOW.
Emma @ Supper in the Suburbs
I'm glad to have found someone who loves kale as much as I. More than anything I just REALLY like the flavour. I don't make kale chips to replace dorittos or drink green smoothies to get ny fix instead this is right up my street!
I tried explaining to a meat eating friend the other day that you can get all the iron you need from vegetables instead of red meat and she looked at me like I was crazy. Wish I'd known then that (as always) kale is the answer!
Katalina @ Peas & Peonies
OMG this tray looks os perfect and so yummy, I would love to start my day with one!

It's past dinner time here but I honestly had hunger pangs when I saw this delicious breakfast tray! This is my kind of breakfast for sure!!!
Nazima Pathan
looks wonderful Dannii - I'm rarely awake enough to try making cooked breakfast but this looks super easy!
mira
I'm often lazy when it comes to breakfast! This tray bake looks so delicious and very creative!
Helen @ Scrummy Lane
Love this idea, Dannii. We really like having some sort of cooked brekky at the weekend, but it's a bit of a fath standing at the stove for half an hour. The best thing about this is shoving it in the oven and walking off. Will give this a try!
Elizabeth
I could seriously go for this right now! What a fantastic breakfast idea!
Kate
I'd love to try something like this at the weekend, mornings can be pretty hectic during the week but I do like to try and do something different at the weekend. Thank you!
Linda
As someone who enjoys breakfast so much, this is a must try recipe. I love how you add kale into this. Very fresh and looks delicious!
Georgia
When it comes to breakfast I am pretty boring, I can't function without a croissant in the morning!! But I need to get into eating kale, I've recently stopped eating meat and need to try out more greens, I'm interested in trying kale crisps as I'm told they are delicious!
Bec
I love Kale - we are growing some at the bottom of the garden in a tiny veg patch so I'll definitely look out for your recipes. I love tray bakes - I often do traybakes with chicken, herbs and veg. a very easy tea after a long day at work. Love bec xx
Lisa @ Lisa the Vegetarian
Yum this looks so good! It has some of my favorite ingredients in it. I could see cooking up a big tray of this and eating it several days in a row for breakfast!
Kelly
This is totally my kind of breakfast! Love the kale, eggs, and tomatoes! So healthy and delicious :)
