Ideal for meal prepping, I like to make a big batch of them on Sunday and reheat them throughout the week. In just 2 minutes, I’m able to serve my boys a hearty and satisfying hot breakfast that doesn’t require any dirty dishes or oven time mid-week.

While we love adding sausage and peppers, feel free to get creative and any whatever veggies and leftover meat you have on hand. Onions, ham and potatoes is another great combo that my boys love.
