Baked Eggs Recipe

This is a great breakfast dish. It also reheats well, so make some extra for weekday morning breakfasts.

• Six large eggs, beaten
• 2 tb margarine or butter
• Half a large onion
• Two stalks of celery
• Half a green pepper
• About 1/3 cup of frozen spinach
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar (or any other cheese you like)
• hot sauce, to taste

Dice all the vegetables and stir fry them in the margarine or butter until they’re just starting to get tender. Set them aside to let them cool a bit.

Spray your baking dish with cooking spray. A deep dish pie plate works fine, as does a 9×9 square dish. You can also use muffin tins for egg bites.

Beat your eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the vegetables, hot sauce and cheese and stir well. Pour into the baking dish. Bake on 450 degrees until the eggs are set, about 20 minutes. The muffin tins take a little less time.

Substitutions

You could use something like Egg Beaters if you don’t want real eggs. Likewise, any vegetables should work. I’ve used mushrooms in the past. I’ve even put a couple spoonfuls of salsa in. Use whatever you like and what you have on hand. Obviously, you could add meat if you want. We just prefer it with vegetables and cheese only.

This recipe is very vegetable-dense. If you’d rather have a recipe with fewer vegetables and more egg, add a couple eggs to the recipe and don’t use as many vegetables. This is a great way to “sneak” vegetables into your day, and they really are delicious.
