There are countless ways to celebrate Mom, and cooking
for her is one of the best. If you plan on inviting Mom over for brunch, consider
making this cheesy egg bake. Not only will this impress Mom, but the main
ingredient, eggs, are good for your eyes. In fact, lutein and zeaxanthin, two
nutrients found in egg yolks, work together to reduce your risk of developing
cataracts.
Plan ahead and prepare this dish the night before so you can spend
more time with Mom on Mother's Day. Follow the recipe through step three, then
cover and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Because the eggs will be
colder, you'll need to increase the baking time to 40 to 45 minutes.
Serve and enjoy celebrating Mom!
