“Rich and delicious! A dense and cheesy delight! This is a basic quiche recipe that can easily be adjusted to accommodate different ingredients. The possibilities are endless.” – Nell

“This is great for breakfast, brunch or dinner! Add and subtract ingredients that you love.” – Kathy

Chile Rellenos Breakfast Casserole
“This is a great recipe that will feed several people. I make it when I’m with my family at the lake house. An easy one-dish meal. I serve it with fresh hot tortillas and fresh hot sauce or pica de gallo. My family just loves it.” – Jeanne
Breakfast Pizza
“Pizza for breakfast? You bet!” – Bonnie
European Breakfast Sandwich

“Amazing flavor!! I have always loved Ro-tel dip and decided it would be great over an omelet. I used sausage rather than ground beef for this recipe. It is spicy but yummy! Serve with a side of fresh cubed melons, fresh fruit, and a warm croissant. Use remaining sauce for dipping nacho chips.” – Peggy
