Fiesta Egg Bake
Brunch
|
A great lower carb recipe in addition to being a
fantastic brunch dish. Make ahead the night before, then pop into the oven for
45 minutes. Great for take-along; don't forget to take the sour cream!
If you're living a low-carb lifestyle, this is a
great make-ahead for fast breakfasts - make a batch for Sunday's breakfast,
refrigerate the leftovers and on busy work-day mornings, simply heat up a square
in the microwave for a quick & hearty, healthy breakfast.
