overnight eggs (gluten free)

Can you think of anything better than a make ahead meal? These Overnight Eggs are it! In just minutes, you have a silky, rich egg bake that you can place in the fridge and take out in the morning. Breakfast is served!. Easy entertaining or I just don’t have enough time to pull it all together, this Overnight Egg dish is the perfect compliment to any Brunch or a weekend morning where you have to feed a crew and run out the door.

As I was browesing recipes for this type of casserole, every single choice had bread in it! I needed it to be gluten free and I really didn’t want to use bread. What is a cook to do in this situation? Create it myself.

AND…that’s what I did. With Easter and Mother’s Day just around the corner…ohh and Graduation season, this will be your go to. I promise.
