Typical breakfast foods, like cereal, yogurt, oatmeal and pancakes tend to be high in carbohydrates and therefore break down quickly into sugar once digested. It causes a spike in blood sugar, which will lead to a crash and sugar craving a few hours later. That is no way to start a productive day.
This Greek Breakfast Casserole is a much better option for a balanced meal. Loaded with protein from chicken and eggs, fiber-filled vegetables and fat, it's a great option for your next holiday breakfast, brunch or prep-ahead breakfast.
For the chicken, consider making it ahead of time using my easy Prep-Ahead Shredded Chicken recipe so it's all cooked and ready to toss into the casserole.
If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to use your kitchen shears, pull them out for this recipe. Use Cutco’s Super Shears to snip the herbs and even cut the spinach.
