This is the second recipe from The Get Fit Weekend program with Trinity Fitness. I probably should have had this up Saturday, but you can make any time for an easy breakfast on the go. I make similar recipes for my A Chef of Your Own clients to have a tasty, easy breakfast treat. Put the casserole in the oven when you get up and after your showers, it’s ready to go.
