Breakfast is always the hardest meal for me. I often am rushing out the door or just plain don’t feel like cooking and cleaning up the mess at that time (I know I’m not the only one!); so I often skip breakfast. I know that this is such a bad habit because it sets me up to hold onto fat and slow my metabolism down – all the things that we don’t want to happen once we hit our 30s.
Which is why this recipe is so great; I can prep it ahead of time to have breakfast for 5 days and it’s quick to make with minimal mess! You also can easily substitute ingredients in that you prefer; maybe some spinach or swap out the pancetta for bacon, it’s up to you and your tastes. This recipe also fits into our NSNG (no sugar, no grain) lifestyle so that’s an added bonus.
If you make these let me know what you think; I hope you enjoy them!
