These are the perfect breakfast item when hosting a brunch or breakfast. They are packed full of protein and something that can be popped in the oven so you can actually entertain your guests. I recently made these when having my cousins over for a quick breakfast. I wanted something substantial but that didn't require a lot of time in the kitchen like pancakes or french toast, these were the perfect solution. I was surprised by how flavorful, filling and best of all healthy they were. They would make a great choice for new years day breakfast or brunch.
