During a business trip to Texas last year, I fell in love with the variety of Tex-Mex omelets and skillet menu offerings for breakfast at the various restaurants I visited. Of course, this meant I had to add this breakfast style to our home menu.
The Tex-Mex Breakfast Egg Bake is really easy to make, but will easily impress your family or guests… and of course, your taste-buds, too! For extra flavor, pour a little salsa over each slice before serving.
