HEALTH & BENEFITS

This breakfast casserole is a good source of protein and calcium.
The eggs, milk, and cheese provide important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D and calcium, which are essential for strong bones and muscles.

Sun-dried tomatoes are a good source of antioxidants and fiber, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve gut health.
However, they are also high in sodium, so it’s important to consume them in moderation.

Italian sausage is high in calories and saturated fat, so it’s best to choose a leaner protein source, such as turkey sausage, if you’re trying to watch your intake of saturated fat.
