Happy November, friends! We are rapidly approaching my favorite time of the year, which means yay for holiday decorating, holiday baking, etc.! With that in mind, I always try to simplify other aspects of my life, while keeping myself on a budget. Breakfast is one of those things that I have to have every day, but I’ll be honest with y’all – I don’t want to have to wake up any earlier than I have to! So, that means I need something quick/easy in the mornings.

This simple bacon, egg & cheese bake requires very little work, and you can easily freeze portions! I take a portion out of the freezer, unwrap it, put it on a plate, and microwave it for about 2 minutes. Voila! Easy breakfast, y’all!

Since the eggs are the star of this breakfast dish, I tried my best to get eggs that are as flavorful as possible, and I also support brands that treat their animals as humanely as possible. That’s where Nellie’s Free Range Eggs come in! Nellie’s eggs are certified humane, which means they follow the highest standards of humane farm animal care for their chickens. They are also a B Corp Certified company! If you are interested in purchasing Nellie’s Free Range eggs, here’s their store locator. They are also all over social media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.

This egg bake requires very little ingredients in this version, but it’s very customizable if you want to add more or less ingredients to the eggs. 🙂
