A Broccoli-Cheese breakfast casserole that adds a cheerful touch to your mornings. You can prepare and assemble this dish the night prior. Simply place it in the oven to bake the next day while you go about your morning activities.
You can whip up a tasty low-carb dish using ingredients like broccoli, zucchini or squash, cheese, ham, and eggs. If you’re not concerned about carb levels, consider adding a pie crust or a layer of toasted bread at the bottom before baking. Just keep in mind that it might soak up moisture, so it’s recommended to pre-bake the pie crust.

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.
