What's in this Mexican Pizza French Toast Casserole?

Well, besides the bread and moon cheese for a crunch, we are adding some eggs and some cheese to keep things cheesy and nourishing too! Plus we are adding our seasonings as well along with some spicy to add my personal touch... well, extra personal because I do love chorizo and jalapeños.

Chorizo and eggs are a great protein option to add into your lifestyle! As a nutritionist I know that healthy eating should be sustainable and convenient without sacrificing any taste. Eggs is just a great source of protein, vitamin B12 that's is essential for healthy blood and red cells.

Protein can be super versatile; this comforting recipe for example, these other of my own recipes:

Top my Turkey Meatzzas
Add them to these Double Cheese Spicy Turkey Bites
Or make these Broccoli Cheddar Biltong Scones

Check for your ingredients! I believe that it's so important to get quality ingredients no matter what type of lifestyle you follow or live by. When it comes to animal products I recommend getting grass-fed, wild-caught (or sustainably raised) and pastured raised whenever it's possible; that also means that animals were more likely to be treated better.

Okay, so what makes a french toast casserole what they are is the bread, so we I'm using Carbonaut that it's gluten free and low carb, my staple that I keep in my freezer (optional) or in the pantry.
