Baked Breakfast Casserole!
Many of our Kids Eat Smart Clubs are always looking for creative ways to serve a hot breakfast. Eggs are a great way to include protein in your KES Club menu. We get a generous from our National partner Breakfast Club of Canada from Egg Farmers of Canada for egg coupons each year. These coupons will be going out to our KES Clubs over the next couple of weeks. Try this easy recipe at your KES Club this week. Serve with a glass a milk and slice of whole wheat toast for a well balanced meal.
Ensure there are no egg allergies in your school before preparing.
