Mmmm....breakfast. My favorite meal of the day. Lately I've been making a big batch of breakfast that I will take to work and eat the entire week. I am always looking for healthy breakfast recipes that aren't, like, cereal (even though I love cereal). Here are some of my go-to recipes.
Tomato, squash, and red pepper gratin.
Why I like it: it's a sneaky way to get in tons of veggies. I leave off the breadcrumbs because they get soggy on the leftovers. Splurge on the Gruyere cheese - that's the bestest part.

Crustless smoked turkey quiche.
Why I like it: MMmmm...it's the swiss cheese you layer on the bottom that cooks until it gets a little brown, combined with the smoky turkey (I use Boar's Head Smoked Honey Turkey).

Baked oatmeal.
Now, I actually make some significant changes to this recipe. I swap out cinnamon (yuck) for nutmeg (yum), eliminate all the dried fruit, and instead of the applesauce, which I never have on hand, I use a ripe mashed banana. Make sure you mash it really well. I serve with some plain greek yogurt and fruit.

Eggs in ham cups.
Why I like it: They had me at "ham cup." This recipe is so versatile - I can use pretty much any veggies or cheese I have on hand and it always turns out great. I also like that they turn out in individual servings.
