Breakfast bake is a great way to recover from your Easter celebration.
You have dyed hard boiled eggs coming out your ears. Leftover ham is crammed in every corner of the fridge and you still have family in town from yesterday’s gathering who all need to be fed again today.
Enter Easter Breakfast Bake.
Growing up, this was one of my favorite breakfast bakes because it wasn’t so full of bread. It also happens to use up Easter lunch leftovers. Win!
You probably already have the eggs hard boiled but if not do this the day before and peel them so they are ready to go in the morning. Also, cook the whole potatoes the day before so they are cooled and ready to peel and shred.
