I created this quick breakfast casserole one day when I went to make breakfast for my family and I was short on ingredients to make everyone’s favorite request. It has become one of my family’s favorite dishes and is often a staple for mother’s and father’s day brunches. Each time I make it I experiment with different vegetables and cheese combos. One of our favorite is spinach, mushroom and feta. This particular one is spinach, tomato and mozzarella cheese.
