LOW CARB BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

This isn’t your typical hash brown filled, boring casserole, it’s the low carb breakfast casserole that you’ll get requests for seconds and raves from your pickiest eaters.

This casserole is simple, easy, and a great way to start your day. Most breakfast casseroles are filled with hash browns or chunks of bread that get soggy and add unwanted carbs. We don’t want that. But I know I’d miss that lovely texture from those carbs. So I decided to sub them for steamed cauliflower and build off of the same flavors I love about frittatas.
