Helpful Hints

• Try a mixture of cheeses, such as Swiss, Cheddar, Mozzarella and Parmesan 

• For a Southwestern zip to any breakfast casserole, add 1 finely diced Serrrano chile and about 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to the egg and milk mixture. Serve with Homemade Salsa and sour cream.
  
  
• For an Italian flavor add any combination of the following: 3/4 teaspoon Italian herb mix (usually thyme, rosemary and basil), 1/4 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds and 2 minced garlic cloves
  
  
• Substitute chicken or turkey sausage for ground beef or ground pork, or use a mixture of meats
  
  
• Omit meats for a vegetarian breakfast casserole
