Hey… You… Let me holla’ at you for a second.

Wanna know what I’m into? Breakfast. I dig breakfast. I’m ‘bout that breakfast life.

Breakfast sets the tone for the entire day. You feel more energized when your belly is full. That’s a fact. You’re more productive at work. Your brain works better. You’re less stabby in the mornings.

But I dig why some of you don’t do the breakfast thing. Time. There is never ever any time! I’m a mom. I know how difficult it is to have breakfast ready when you’re brushing your teeth and frantically looking for a stray sock that was “right there” a minute ago, yet somehow ends up in the freezer.

These Mini Chilaquiles Casseroles take very little effort to put together. In fact, if you have 10 minutes right before bed –  After you shove homework in book bags, you can totally put the filling of these casseroles together. Pop that jammy in the fridge. In the morning, grab the filling, crush some tortilla chips (while simultaneously letting out morning frustration), layer these bad boys, liberally sprinkle some cheese – And pop in the oven for 8-10 minutes.

TIPS

     

    • Breakfast casserole filling can be prepared one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. In the morning, quickly layer the mini Dutch ovens and pop in the oven.

     

      Serving Suggestion:

      • Sprinkle cilantro, tomato, and jalapeño garnish over cheese and bake it with the casserole instead of serving it raw.
