  1. We typically add more veggies and eggs and in addition to tots on the bottom we add some to the top. All of these changes add up to a longer bake – usually around 50-55m

  2. This breakfast casserole recipe is filled with veggies, which my family needs more of! I did add mushrooms and bacon and a little extra cheese to it. Thank you for making a healthy breakfast so easy! I am learning little by little and I cannot wait for the next breakfast recipe from you.
