HopefulOne!! 0 Posted May 5, 2011 I'm planning to make a Breakfast casserole for mother's day. I had planned to substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage, but will it turn out the same if I use egg beaters instead of regular eggs? Anyone tried it or have recipes for healthier breakfast casseroles? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted May 5, 2011 It should come out ok- not as moist as if you used eggs. You might want to go half and half. Happy Mother's day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shelley64 26 Posted May 5, 2011 I don't like egg beaters myself so my suggestion would be to use half eggs and half whites. I make a breakfast casserole myself and I use the jimmy dean (light) sausage which is excellent. I haven't compared the calories to turkey sausage but the flavor of the JD is excellent and you'd never know it's light. I normally use 8 eggs but I only use 4 yolks. My recipe calls for seasoned croutons and shredded cheese so that is where the calories increase. The lower cal cheese really doesn't make much of a taste difference after it's baked but I haven't found a solution to the croutons or bread yet. Bummer! it's my favorite brunch dish.

Melissannde 41 Posted May 6, 2011 You might look at Eggface's breakfast bites. They're basically a breakfast casserole in miniature form and don't use any bread/croutons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElfiePoo 109 Posted May 8, 2011 Go ahead and use real eggs. They've gotten a bad rap over the years. You might want to read "The Great Cholesterol Con" by Dr. Malcom Kendricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
