Ready to eat in 25 minutes, this recipe features eggs, bacon, cheese, and milk. This is a solid recipe you can make to eat immediately, or you can prepare it ahead of time and stick them in the freezer. It will only take 30 seconds to warm them up the next morning.  Here’s what you’ll need;

Ingredients
