Breakfast Bake
I love to have an all-in-one meal for a change, especially breakfast or brunch when you just want something easy to put together for a healthy, filling start of your day. This recipe was surprisingly tasty and satisfying (inspired by PlantStrong).

Notes
This is an easy and straightforward recipe. The Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies provide quite a hot kick. You can modify it by using half the can of Rotel and diced tomatoes to lower the heat. When I first created the recipe I found it was not sweet enough for me. Since then I have replaced the breadcrumbs with sweet blueberries and/or strawberries. Use 1–2 pints of the berries, mixed well together with ¼ cup of sugar substitute (monk fruit sugar substitute is a 1-to-1 conversion). There is no aftertaste and this is good for a diabetic diet.
