Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Breakfast Squares

Does breakfast planning fall through the cracks when you’re getting ready for company? I usually thaw a package of English muffins (anyone else hoard them when they are BOGO?) and make sure we have some eggs ready for guests to prepare to their liking. Oh, and I usually have a bowl full of bananas at varied levels of ripeness. Until now. When trying to plan a breakfast for Thanksgiving day, I couldn’t come up with something that checked all of my boxes. I wanted something I could make the night before, wasn’t too heavy, and didn’t result in a sink full of dishes. Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Breakfast Squares fit the bill.
