Skillet Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast should be nutritious, flavorful, and simple to prepare. This one-skillet breakfast casserole will exceed your expectations for simplicity, tastiness, nutrition, and visual appeal. Packed with a variety of vegetables and protein, this is a great way to start your day.

One of the biggest benefits of this recipe is the lack of butter or oil. Instead, the vegetables are made tender by sautéing in water, which saves the added fat, while bringing out all the vitamins and nutrients in the vegetables themselves.

Red and yellow peppers are high in antioxidants like vitamin C, beta-carotene, and other carotenoids.

These peppers are also a good source of vitamin B6, which is essential for the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Finally, the folate in red and yellow peppers supports the synthesis of DNA and RNA and aids in the metabolism of homocysteine, which is important for brain support.

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which support healthy blood flow and may provide support for a healthy brain. The high vitamin E content in avocados acts as an antioxidant. Like peppers, avocados are a good source of folate, which is crucial for your brain and overall health. Avocados also contain potassium, which helps maintain healthy brain function by supporting nerve cell communication.

Onions contain flavonoids like quercetin, which have antioxidant properties.

Mushrooms contain ergothioneine and glutathione\. Mushrooms are also rich in B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid, which support brain function by aiding in energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis.
