Cheesy Brunch Casserole
This breakfast casserole has been a favorite for ages! Rather than using just whole eggs, we use egg whites for a portion, and the fat-free and low-fat cheese combination gives it a really rich flavor. This recipe is the complete opposite of bland. With several different kinds of cheeses and other added ingredients, this healthy casserole recipe is fluffy and full of protein. You're going to love it.
