An easy yet delicious egg dish for Christmas morning

One of the most important traditions in many homes is Christmas morning. But after all the excitement of opening gifts simmers down, it's nice to sit down to a healthy and delicious breakfast.

Here's a dish my family eats year-round. It's easy - of course - and that's especially important for Christmas morning because Mom and Dad need to open their gifts, too!

You can prepare it in advance and let it cook while everyone wakes up and attacks their presents. And in keeping with the Christmas theme, I've added some colorful vegetables in red and green to keep the spirit going through mealtime.

You can easily double this dish. Just use a 9X13 pan. And you can quickly lighten it up by using low-fat cottage cheese and skim milk.

All my kids love this egg dish, and I hope it becomes a tradition in your home, too.
