Freezer Meal Instructions:

To Freeze: Bake according to instructions and fully cool. Place in a single layer in a freezer container or bag. Seal well, squeezing out excess air, and freeze. Reheat at 300 degrees for 10 min or until warm in center.  A healthy way to have a fast breakfast is to have these frozen and ready to warm!

 

Options:

 

1. To make this even faster, do the entire recipe in a glass dish like a casserole and serve hot.

2. For gluten-free option, use shredded potatoes instead of the bread.

3. Or make a homemade pie crust and pour into crust.  Freezes well too!
