This Asparagus, Dill and Onion Baked Egg Casserole is a perfect Whole30 or Keto breakfast that can be made ahead of time and easily reheated!
Today’s recipe is budget-friendly, vegetarian and endlessly customizable.
What if you can’t find dill? Use parsley, cilantro or 1.5 teaspoons of another dried herb.
What if asparagus is out of season or too expensive? You could sauté peppers, or mushrooms, or spinach or almost any other vegetable and it will work.
This simple, delicious recipe is proof that healthy food can be affordable, easy and accessible. My family had this casserole for dinner the other night with a simple side salad. This would also work well alongside potatoes, squash or with a piece of whole-grain toast.
NOTES:
- We served this as 4 large dinner portions but you could serve it as 6 smaller portions.
- This is freezer friendly and reheats great!
- The size of your casserole dish will affect the shape and height and may impact cooking time. I used a 2.5 Quart casserole dish.

What about adding sausage? Will it ruin the taste of dill and asparagus???
Hi Krystal,
Sausage is a big flavor – I do think it will overpower the dill, onion and asparagus. Try adding it to half and see what you think?
Great post for the cause! Love the recipe idea- it’s healthy and filling. It can also be eaten for dinner or breakfast- versatility at it’s best. So glad to be participating with great bloggers on this movement!
