Breakfast Casserole!

We love any recipe that can be prepared in bulk for large groups of kids at our Kids Eat Smart Breakfast Clubs.  We especially like this recipe as it also includes eggs – a great source of protein.  We are thankful for our Partner,  Eggs Farmers NL for their continued support to our breakfast clubs here in our Province.  Be sure to check for egg allergies at your school before considering this recipe.
