I am all about easy, delicious, filling breakfast foods that will start my family’s day out right and keep them full, satisfied and energized for the day ahead.
My favorite dishes, are the ones that I can prepare the night before and then pop in the oven in the morning while beds are being made (they are too!) and little people are getting dressed and ready for the day.
I especially, most definitely love dishes that are made with ingredients that I always have on hand: eggs, cheese, onions, breakfast meats and seasonings.
This dish is a favorite of mine for family breakfasts, brunches and even breakfast for dinner type of days.
