Zucchini Breakfast Casserole » Civilized Caveman

Name: Zucchini Breakfast Casserole
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked meat; 1 zucchini (peeled using your julienne peeler); 1 red onion (diced); 4 cloves of garlic (minced); 8 eggs; 2 tbsp basil; salt and pepper to taste; 4-6 pieces of nitrate free bacon

So if I named this what it actually is, it would be too long to fit in the title, so I’ll stick with Zucchini Breakfast Casserole. I threw this together in about 10 minutes and it was amazing with what I had in the house. I topped it with some fresh farm nitrate free bacon and it was amazing. This is my new go to breakfast for leftover meats like chicken, steak, etc. You can also substitute the chicken with whatever meat you want, you just have to precook it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, I ate half of a 9×13 inch pan of it. Enjoy :)
