I know what you’re thinking…”her first post back in the blogging world and she chooses breakfast casserole? of all things??” Yes. It’s delicious, healthy, and only takes about five minutes to make. Who wouldn’t love that?

It’s summer and the LAST thing we want to do is slave away in the kitchen for hours on end…that’s best saved for those wretched winter months, when everything outside is grey and horribly dreadful. (I really hate winter, can ya tell? Summer is where it’s at.) I’m looking for quick 10-minute meals, using fresh ingredients, that are really satisfying. Breakfast casserole fits the mold.

It’s an old childhood favorite of mine (we used to have it on Christmas morning…until we went to Alaska and discovered homemade cranberry scones with fresh cranberry butter…YUM…another post, another time).

So this nouveau casserole is made entirely of fresh ingredients, including baby new potatoes and tender swiss chard from my dad’s garden; joined by local pastured eggs, cubed sourdough and topped with Irish cheddar, bacon and sriracha….
