I learned about this recipe from a friend and tweaked it just a bit. Its absolutely genius. You throw all your favorite breakfast ingredients into one pyrex and bake it to perfection. The perfect blend of soft melt in your mouth butter biscuits, scrambled eggs, melted cheese, crispy bacon and sausage, and that perfect white gravy that brings it all together.

                        Prepared in about 10 min and Similar to something like a meatball, these Spinach balls are a guilt free eating, with only about 25 calories per ball you can enjoy as many as you want and not feel bad about it.  Meatless or with a few of your favorite diced meats in the mix, it is great either way. I've tried them both ways and honestly didn't  notice a difference with or without meat, they are delicious. Great for a light dinner or afternoon snack. My sister said she tried it for breakfast and enjoyed it a lot. Goes great with naan bread on the side and with your favorite dips such as parmesan, spinach and artichoke (one of my favorites).
