I love breakfast foods. I could eat them any time of day. Most Sundays I go to brunch with my husband after church. If we go to a restaurant any other time and it is 24-hour breakfast, you know what I am getting.
Recently I grabbed a package of Lightlife Gimme Lean fake sausage (there was a coupon attached!) When I was looking over recipes on the brand’s website, I was immediately drawn to the breakfast dishes. This one caught my eye, as it is simple, minimal ingredients, not too high in calories and easy to convert to dairy-free. You can use the milk products like the recipe calls for, but my household usually has the dairy substitutes.
Make it the night before, pop it in the oven in the morning and enjoy a breakfast that is sure to bring the family together!
