[@sarahdee374]

Hi Brain, here is my review of the tweaks I made: subbing sun dried tomatoes for green peppers (which my tummy won't tolerate) was great. I also put the potatoes on the bottom of the pan (with parchment paper underneath) instead of mixing in. I felt that the potatoes would maybe get lost and I wanted to be able to "feel" them. So I cooked the veggies and then mixed with the eggy mix and spread over the potatoes. During the last 15 minutes of baking I drizzled some sweet & spicy BBQ sauce on top. I found it really good. The salt-less spice I have was not great, so I'm going to try to locate the one you use. Love your videos, thank you Brian and Jessica.

[@nancyellen8006]

Great suggestions. I’ll be trying out some of your ideas soon. Thanks!

[@Jusy58]

This casserole is delicious! I have been looking for a breakfast casserole and I am so happy I made this one! My non-WFPB hubby is not on board with my lifestyle (yet) and he even said it smelled so good and he would try it. I will definitely make this one over and over!!

[@Lisatropolis]

And yes, kala namak is crazy! It’s totally the vegan egg connection 🧂🌿💕😍

[@michellerene9678]

I usually hate background music on videos, but I love the groovy music on this one. The volume is low enough that I can still hear Brian. The casserole looks amazing! I think I will make this for Easter brunch. 😋

[@123Annie]

❤This casserole really is just what Brian promises!! I wish I could add a photo cause mine turned out just like Brian & Jessica's. I was going to make it for the Easter Brunch idea that Jessica suggested but my non-vegan husband saw the recipe and veto'd it on the spot. So we did take-out Chinese instead (we are empty-nesters and have flexibility for some holidays now)! But I had purchased all the recipe ingredients, even the amazing black salt that smells & tastes like eggs, so I made this dish the next day instead. Well, it smelled so good while baking, that even the hubs agreed to try it after all and we both agreed--this eggy casserole is really good as a vegan egg dish even for company! You knocked it outta-the-park with this one, Brian and I always love Jessica's tips & commentary! We'll be heating up our left-overs tomorrow in the air-fryer to re-crisp! Love to you both--I love being a Krock-Pot follower and enjoy all your creativity even venturing to MN for a vrbo work week with a cool kitchen! The best!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

That is awesome, Annie! 😀 I am so happy that you and your husband loved this dish! I am super proud of this one and I honestly crave it every week right now. 😆

[@nancycosgrove4005]

I was asked to make a casserole for church on Easter and didn’t know what to do!and then this recipe- yay!!!!!! 💕

[@ayidas]

I made this yesterday and it is super yummy! Thanks for this one!

[@mandybyrd1788]

The way Brian cooks makes sense to me. A lot of vegan sos-free recipes I try I end up modifying to vary the texture or balance the flavors but with Brian's recipes I usually don't want to change anything - which is the highest culinary compliment I can give.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you so very much! I absolutely understand this compliment and I agree! I feel the exact same way. 😀

[@Silent.Stacker]

I’m loving the new recipe videos. It’s nice to see them again. You are a truly talented cook and recipe videos are clearly your forte. Than you.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you very much! It always means a lot to me when people tell me I'm good at this. 😀

Great Experience I had with with u DOCTOR ORAL KZbin channel after using his herbal product & get cured from herpes & diabetes totally. Thanks so much DOCTOR ORAL channel.

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

This yummy-sounding recipe would seem to be easily adaptable to be baked in muffin sized portions and then frozen for bite-size quickie meals on the go.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Jessica was literally talking about this yesterday! 😀

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

@@KrocksInTheKitchen XLNT. It'd be helpful to know if this recipe freezes well. For 1 or 2 member households, a 9 by 13 casserole isn't always a workable option, tho muffins that can be frozen may really work (and for batch cooking too).

[@thatveganchick668]

Holy moly that looks amazing! 😋 I normally use most of those same ingredients in a tofu scramble, but I need to try this casserole! Thank you for this great idea! 😊

[@Frugal_fitchic]

Y’all are such an inspiration to me! I’m officially going vegan on Earth Day. I’m getting lots of great ideas from your channel 🤩❤️

[@bonniefuller6644]

Brian you are AMAZING with your recipe creativity! I can't wait to make this! Thank you so so much!!! You two are just so cute together!

[@doris3594]

I noticed that your chopped onions looked perfect! And aha…ordered the chopper from your link to Amazon! I’ve been making similar eggy dish using Just Egg and realized it’s got too many ‘mysterious’ ingredients…. So will change to the Krocks recipe this weekend ! Thank you!!

[@jami29841]

This looks amazing! Started Whole Foods plant based eating a couple of weeks ago, and I’m loving your channel. Lots of great ideas.

[@kristybeck3494]

Can’t wait to try it! Ive never made a tofu scramble or any tofu as “eggs” yet, but looking forward to it! Thanks guys!!

[@NessaBalawn]

Love this channel not just for the recipes but the Krock’s are soo sweet love them

[@botheredwithknots-Sandra]

Looks yummy. Will have to try! I finally got the black salt. I made my hubbie a chickpea "egg" salad sandwich last week and he was shocked! Couldn't believe there wasn't egg in it! 😄 Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeccamorton8504]

Thanks for the recipe . I will be making it. Prayers for you and Jessica!

[@lisasim]

It's even kosher for Passover 😀 Not that I'm ever worried about that, but for those who are... 😁 It really looks like a great dish! Totally going to give it a go! Thank you guys! 🙏💚🐰

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Good to know it's kosher! Glad my Jewish friends can enjoy this as well. 😀

[@hidden909]

I thought the tofu made from soybeans wouldn’t be okay for Passover?

[@lisasim]

@@hidden909 Well, some eat beans, rice and corn, during Passover, and some not, it really depends on how strict you are... Historically, Ashkenazi Jews would not eat it and Sephardic Jews would. Today, when families are very mixed, it's really up to any household unless you're Orthodox... In my (mostly Ashkenazi) family, everyone eats beans and rice and it's fine.

[@hidden909]

@@lisasim My father was from a small shtetl in Eastern Europe, he survived the concentration camps WW2, and he was so strict with Passover food! He has died now and because of Covid this is our 1st Seder without him. I’m not sure what page everyone is on yet. I’d love to loosen the restrictions, as a vegan it’s extra hard to make a Passover dish!

[@lisasim]

@@hidden909 So sorry for you loss! 😓 Legumes, rice and corn are not considered leavened foods (chamtz), but somewhere in the 12th century, Ashkenazi Jews started avoiding them in case there's a mix up and you find a wheat grain among them. There's some documents showing some Sephardic Jews communities that became strict as well, in the 13th century... Many years have passed by and I hope that your family is willing to be less strict about it. It's not chametz, you're not going to bring any bread or wheat pasta... I'm quite sure it will be fine. There should be some good recipes for Passover on Chef AJ channel and on Shayda's channel, hope you can find them helpful. Happy Pesach! 🙏🌸🍷

[@debbieallen7160]

We make hash browns just by shredding a clean potato with the skin on and they are great. Just grate it and throw them straight in the pan. Super easy. Last week we got Yukon Gold potatoes frim Costco and they made the best Hash browns I've ever had! Thomas (hubby) cooks his in oil. I made some recently with just a spritz of EVOO from my Pampered Chef sprayer because I didn’t know if I could make them at all but they came out fine, so next I will try frying them with broth.

[@Bethh3890]

This looks soooo good!

Trader Joe has hash browns that is just potatoes. It’s pretty affordable too 🥔

Looks so good. I think I'll try this tonight. Thanks

[@ladylove3636]

Well that looks amazing, onions, kale, potatoes & tofu pretty much keep me alive x

[@ladylove3636]

So its basically fried veg, mixed with grated potato, held together with silken tofu add garlic etc and baked. Deffo gonna do that x

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

The tofu itself won't really hold the mix together. The pumpkin seeds do a great job at making the mix more solid. 🙂

[@ladylove3636]

@@KrocksInTheKitchen my gosh! The pumpkin seeds & black salt were the two ingredients I don't have. So... did you put the pumpkin seeds in the blender and that acts as binder? :o x

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Yes, the pumpkin seeds act as the binder. Similar to a flax egg in baking. You could use garbanzo flour instead but I'm not sure how much to use. The black salt is purely for that egg flavor. If you don't care about it, just season the dish with whatever seasonings you prefer. 😀

This looks so good, you two! I’m going to make this one too sometime in the near future.

[@jlp4111]

Would love recipes that don’t have MSG (nutritional yeast) in them. This recipe sound good, but will wait until you come up with another one w/o nooch in the future! You guys are looking good!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Honestly, you could leave it out. It isn't a primary ingredient and it only adds a bit of flavor and color.😀 But in the defense of nutritional yeast, they don't add MSG to it (at least most brands don't). The glutamate (also called Free Glutamate) is naturally occurring when the yeast grows just like in mushrooms, nuts/seeds , tomatoes, all soy products, and even potatoes. But, if you have an MSG intolerance, you should probably avoid this dish as it contains mushrooms, seeds, potatoes, tofu, and nutritional yeast.🙂

This casserole looks SO good. Gotta try it :)

[@terri-sueclare2166]

[@thatsubtlevegan1370]

Seems like I can get all those veggies frozen for even less prep! yay! Great video guys, the lighting is tip top!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

That's actually how this recipe started. Dollar Tree sells a frozen veggie blend called "Seasoning Blend" and that became the base. But it does taste better when the veggies are fresh. 😀

[@pamelalee6217]

What brand of Tofu do you use? Does it have to be Soft Silken or can I use Firm? I live in a small town with limited vegan options. The closest Whole Foods is 3 hours away. I have never had tofu before, but this recipe looks so good I am finally willing to try it.

[@CastledarkDweller27]

You're not alone UK! The sorrowful lack of frozen hash brown potatoes is all over Australia too. i SOOK and CRY and BOOHOO and WAH with self-pity and jealousy whenever i see videos including those amazing American bags of OIL-FREE GRATED SPUDS, cos i know how much work it is to peel and grate and squeeze out a whole pile of spuds. Compared to opening a bag from the freezer!

At Sprouts their home brand of hash browns is simply frozen potatoes also.

I love a good tofu scramble using firm tofu but I've never tried black salt, though I've heard how great it is at giving that eggy taste.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

My only advice for using it with a tofu scramble is to use a bit in the cooking but also mix in a bit right at the end or sprinkle some on top. Cooking it tends to hide the flavor a bit more. 😀

[@yolandadunmore104]

This looks DELICIOUS and I’m excited to try it. My husband dislikes kale would I need to increase the other veggies if I take the kale out to equal the volume of your dish?

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

I (Brian) am not a big fan of kale when it's cooked. But this turned out great with it. But you could honestly just leave it out. Adding it wasn't was mainly for color and extra nutrition. You could also sub it for some spinach but I've never tried it. 😀
