Eggs are a very filling breakfast. My in-laws had eggs for breakfast their entire married lives and lived until almost 90. If you think about it. A whole chicken comes out of an egg, so there have to be amazing nutrients in an egg. Anyone who says to me that eggs are not healthy will find that I will not listen to them, as experience tells me that they are very healthy indeed. So many times the media in past history has tried to vilify eggs, and even recently. Crazy!
You can certainly add your own favorite veggies to this dish instead of what I presented here. Therefore, this is a very flexible breakfast casserole.
I actually used sharp Cheddar cheese; however, you can use your favorite cheese in this casserole.

1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning (5 mL)

4 slices bacon, cooked, chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (250 mL)
