Breakfast is my LEAST favorite meal of the day. I just don’t like the options of either eggs & bacon or basically a dessert. As you might suspect, I don’t like brinner (breakfast for dinner) either. I think the last time I willfully ate a brinner was when I was about five years old.

But look at me now! Making this casserole-y breakfast thing. And serving it for breakfast or dinner! It’s so good it made it to our primetime meal spot. I say try it, even if you’re not a morning-meal-type like me. This thing is breakfast done right.
