Slice of egg bandito with two sausage pattiesGuests love this egg casserole!  Don’t worry, you can make it as spicy or as mild as you prefer.  Once you have all of the ingredients, it comes together quickly, so it makes a great easy breakfast.  We tested it first on a Christmas morning several years ago, and even made homemade salsa for it.  Maybe it will become your holiday special egg casserole!

It is ok to use stale tortilla chips, and is a great use of those little bits at the bottom of the bag (if you have any).  Vary the cheeses, as well!  Make it your own.
