Hearty Egg Casserole Recipe
This egg casserole is a healthier spin on a traditional comfort food.
The eggs and bacon are protein packed, cheese is a healthy fat (just don’t go overboard in one sitting with it), and there’s no such thing as too many leafy greens! You can even make it your own by adding more of your favorite veggies.
It’s easy to prepare, so the “I don’t have time to cook” excuse can go right out the window, plus you get multiple servings out of this. That makes it a great grab-and-go choice for lunch during the work week. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!
