Let’s face it- we are all busy, always in a rush to get out of the house in the morning. Eating a healthy, protein filled breakfast can be very challenging. I don’t know about you, but I certainly don’t have time to whip up an omelet before heading in to work. That is why I love this breakfast casserole from Paleo OMG. Make this casserole on Sunday night and you have breakfast for the week! You can substitute the veggies and or breakfast meat to your liking. A few cherry tomatoes on the top is delicious!
Side note- I am not sure if it is my oven but I has to bake mine a little longer than the recipe calls for because the eggs were still runny.
