If you love a hearty breakfast casserole, you aren’t alone. Breakfast casseroles are easy to make and will usually always turn out edible, if not totally delicious. You can’t really go wrong. It’s basically a crustless quiche and it’s a great way to get plenty low carb protein to start your morning off on the right foot.

The wonderful thing about these types of recipes is that you can pretty much fill them with whatever you have in the fridge. Leftover salmon? Sure! a few remaining florets of broccoli? Why not?! (I smell another recipe coming on…) The ingredients listed here just happened to be what I had in my fridge this morning while the food supply is running low. I have to get to the grocery store but didn’t want to head out on an empty stomach, because we all know what effect that can have on your final receipt. Can we say buying everything in sight?

So I basically grabbed what I had on hand and it turned out incredible! The only thing I put in the recipe that I didn’t do myself was to saute the onions first. It really does make a difference in flavor. Otherwise, this is fast and easy to make and you can get ready for the day while it bakes in the oven. Not bad for modest little “low-on-groceries” casserole!
