What's for Breakfast?

One of our go-to breakfast dishes when we have overnight guests is the Breakfast Casserole. I can make it a day ahead and warm it up just before we are ready to eat. It's super easy and everyone seems to love it.

I first saw tasted this recipe at least 15 years ago at a Pampered Chef party. I've changed it up and don't even typically measure anything out any more. You can make it your own by changing some of the ingredients as well.

Their recipe calls for the eggs and milk to be cooked in the microwave using one of their glass measuring bowls. Sometimes, I actually cook mine on the cook top.

 I also make mine minus the meat. I'll have turkey bacon, bacon and sausage (depending on the guest) on hand to eat as a side.

I have not been able to find the original recipe any where on the web. If anyone knows where I can find it, please comment below.

In the meantime, I found this one on the Pampered Chef website  that you could use if you'd like to make one for your family or guests.

Enjoy!
