Veggie-Loaded Breakfast Casserole
I’m back with another breakfast recipe!
This one is packed with protein and veggies, making it the perfect start to a busy day!
My recipe calls for spinach, bell peppers and broccoli, but the cool thing is you can use whatever combination of vegetables you want. You can also add turkey or chicken sausage for more flavor and protein.
Why do I add Greek yogurt? It adds an amazing creamy, rich texture to the egg bake, plus it adds another dose of protein. And I find if I boost my protein in the morning, it gives me energy to last through the afternoon.
My favorite thing about this recipe, beyond how yummy it is, is the fact that it’s meal prep-friendly, meaning I can bake and slice it, divvy it up in containers and heat it up for breakfast all week long. Talk about delicious convenience!
Give it a try and tell me in the comments what veggies you use in your breakfast casserole!
