Breakfasts really are the most important meal of the day. If Alexa and I don’t have a good breakfast — with a healthy protein — the rest of the day is iffy. No exaggeration! We prefer eggs for their rich B-complex vitamins (which help us focus) and eat quite a bit of them here. I’ve learned to make eggs in many different ways and this casserole is one of our favorites. It’s simple to make, full of veggies, and it just tastes great. We make a healthy egg, cheese, & hash brown casserole on Sunday and the leftovers make quick and easy breakfasts during the week.
