Preparing a gluten free breakfast? There’s nothing easier if you have good recipes! Here are some suggestions for breakfast.

Breakfast Casserole
10 slices of your favorite gluten free bread, cubed
3 cups of milk (your choice of milk)
8 eggs
1 pound of cooked bacon, cut into bite sized portions
¼ cup diced onions (optional)
12 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
Put the cubed bread in a 9X13 pan. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and eggs together and beat with a fork until mixed well. Put the bacon pieces evenly over the bread. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread. Top with shredded cheese. Refrigerate overnight. Bake on 350 degrees for one hour. Serve hot. Serves 6-8. Recipe by Shirley Wright. (Note: I get my organic eggs and milk at a local farm. The milk is raw and whole.)

Veggie Omelet
2 Farm Fresh Organic, Free Range Eggs
Veggies of Your Choice (suggest any combination of the following – kale, mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions, broccoli, zucchini, spinach and more)
Cheese of Your Choice (about a tablespoon)
Heat flat plan. Coat with butter or coconut oil. Pour egg on hot pan. Heat veggies in the microwave or sautee them while the egg cooks. When the egg is done to your preferences, add the veggies on top of it. Add cheese. Fold over the egg and cook until done. Serve hot. Recipe by Shirley Wright.
