A Broccoli-Cheese breakfast casserole that makes your mornings look brighter. This dish can be prepped and stacked the night before. Just put in the oven and bake the next day while doing your morning routine
Using ingredients like broccoli, zucchini or squash, cheese, ham and eggs make a great low carb meal. If you not concerned about carbs, bake it with a pie crust or toasted bread on the bottom. Beware, it might get soaked with the moisture, so pre-bake the pie crust first.

The Broccoli-Cheese Casserole can be easily prepped the night before and baked in the morning.
If you don’t mind carbs, pie crust or toasted bread can be placed on the bottom. I found, it has a tendency to soak through, so you might want to pre-bake the pie crust first.
