I make a traditional breakfast casserole that we love. It consists of layers of your favorite breakfast ingredients, potatoes, sausage, eggs and topped off with cheese.
This recipe I added elements of a Mexican flair, cumin and cilantro. When we dished it up, each one added their favorite toppings. A pan of refried beans and warm flour tortillas would be good with it, or you can do what we did and serve cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit. Delish!
This is an easy and quick recipe I think we will keep making a long time.
I hope you will try it. Enjoy!
