I am always so boring in my breakfast menu planning, its always just cereal/oatmeal, fruit or eggs and bacon during the weeks and on the weekends we branch out and eat pancakes or breakfast tacos. I never can think of anything creative and delicious. I always come across appetizing breakfast casserole recipe ideas but casseroles are too difficult and long of a process right when you wake up. I came across an excellent recipe the other day, and we had it for breakfast this morning. It was very yum yum and super easy. It will be going on a lot more of our future breakfast menus, so I just had to share the recipe for you to try. You prepare the ingredients the night before (which only takes 5 minutes) and then in the morning all you have to do is pop it in the oven. We topped it off with some chopped pecans. Happy eating!
