Brunch Recipe: Cavendish Breakfast Bake #CavendishFromTheFarm

•

cavendish from the farmBreakfast is my favourite meal, and let’s face it…brunch is just breakfast spread out until lunch! I’m cutting back on bread in my diet but I love my breakfast casseroles, so I needed to find a way to still have my beloved breakfast casserole without the bread… and I need it to taste just as good as always so that the whole family still enjoys it.

I found the answer in the freezer aisle at my local grocery store: Cavendish Rustic Red Diced potatoes. I know Cavendish makes great food, because I buy it all of the time, and the size and cut of these potatoes looked perfect for this recipe. I used a half a bag of the potatoes in the bottom of the casserole dish, and then layered my ingredients on top.

I was so pleased with how this casserole turned out. It had more flavour and texture than the same breakfast bake made with bread cubes rather than potatoes, and as you can see from the nutrition facts, it’s actually fairly low in calories!

Cavendish From the Farm makes homestyle, low fat Potato Wedges, Strips and Red Diced Potatoes, fresh From The Farm. These potatoes are low in fat, freshly cut and salted with sea salt which fits with the type of food I am feeding my family. They are also easy to make, which is great for me! I picked up a bag of strips as well, because fish and chips is always a quick and easy meal that pleases my family.

    This looks so good! I love these quick and easy recipes. I purchase Cavendish potatoes frequently but never thought of doing something like this with them.I have no idea what a ninja is!

      A ninja is like a bullet (a mix of a blender and a food processor). It’s one my best investments ever! I use it almost daily.

    Is that a purely Canadian brand? I’ve never heard of it but I want some now to try your recipe.

    I love breakfast food for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner/supper! And I love breakfast casseroles, because I can make one Sunday night, and have breakfast for the next 3 mornings already done. Cavendish must be a Canadian brand, since I’ve never heard of it before.

    I use Cavendish products quite often myself and have never been disappointed. I am always looking for some new recipes as it seems everyone in my house gets bored way too quickly if they are served the same thing more than once every 2 weeks! I have not yet tried their Rustic Red Potatoes but the casserole sounds really good. I think I have some ham in the freezer too. Guess what we will be eating tomorrow? 😉

    I’ve always wanted to try and make something like a cassserole for breakfast for my family. Not so much for every (too busy school mornings) but more so for the weekends and holidays. I can’t beleive how easy they are to prepare. I MUST try this recipe. I’ll print it out and give it a try next weekend.

    Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    I made this yesterday for holiday brunch with my girlfriends. Everyone went back for seconds!! Absolutely delicious. I picked up a bag of the strips as well (Metro had bonus Air Miles with purchase of two) and we had those with dinner last night. Yum! Thanks for the recipe and for introducing me to these.

    We are big potato eaters here in our home. This looks great and I also love Cavendish potatoes. I bet this would be good with just about any style of potatoes as I have some Cavendish hash brown potatoes on hand and I think I just may have to make this for our breakfast in the morn. Could make this ahead also and be all ready to just warm back up. Looks so tasty too!!!! thanks for sharing.
