Broccoli Cheese Breakfast Casserole

I love hot breakfast.  Whether it's oatmeal or pancakes, I like something warm first thing in the morning.  Bake ahead breakfast casseroles have been my go-to breakfast item for years.  I'd made a 9x13 pan on Sunday night and Nick and I would split it throughout the week. 

Now with Sam on the scene, having a quick breakfast is more of a need than a want.  I jokingly refer to Sam as "the warden" and let me tell you, he runs a tight ship.   He demands several square meals a day and doesn't take kindly to waiting. 

He was nice enough to help me make this week's casserole, even got his hands a little dirty in the process.

I use this basic recipe as a jumping off point and generally add ham, cheese, and broccoli.  So good and filling!

Last year I worked my way through the Food Network food fact/recipe of the day calendar. It came with some super tasty recipes! One in particular caught Nick's eye and he whipped this up for a special Sunday breakfast a few months ago.

I'm dreaming of the day my gorgeous new kitchen is finished so I can get back to treats like this! My handsome contractor is still hard at work, but until then, you can make this for yourself!
