Emu eggs are an interesting source of protein – and they are also fluffy and delicious! I got my emu eggs from friends – thanks L & C! If you are lucky enough to have friends with emus, that’s wonderful – if not, of course this breakfast casserole recipe can also be made with regular eggs.
It is easy to throw together and is a great quick breakfast on the go. I like to freeze mine and keep them for those mornings when I don’t have much time but need something substantial to eat. This recipe is also a great way to use up that loaf of bread that’s fixin’ to go bad!

Wow! Emu eggs! We don’t have those, but I’m excited to try this recipe out with regular old chicken eggs 🙂

I do not even know where I would find emu eggs. But I’m sure I could just replace them with chicken eggs? I know, I’m so boring. Haha
Anna
Absolutely! This is delicious with regular chicken eggs 🙂 They are definitely more widely available.

Hi! Can I leave out the sausage and just use bacon? Thanks so much- I have an emu egg and am so excited to use it.
