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.
