Why we love egg bake recipes

Do you want to take your omelettes to the next level? Egg bake recipes are a great alternative for a hearty, nourishing dish that doesn’t require special kitchen skills. They are quite a popular dish in different cultures (frittata anyone?), and they make a tasty way to hide some nutritious vegetables from choosy taste buds.

To make an egg bake recipe you will need eggs of course and any ingredient you want to include. We love adding roasted veggies because they enrich the nutritional load with minerals and fiber, but you can add cheese or sour cream, green leaves, tofu, beans or even pasta. The steps are pretty easy:

  1. Prepare your ingredients – rinse, chop and roast or sauté the veggies, crumble the cheese, choose your spices.
  2. Transfer the veggies into the baking pan.
  3. Beat the eggs with milk or plant milk.
  4. Add the extras – spices and salt.
  5. Pour the eggs over the vegetables.
  6. Top with crumbled cheese (optional).
  7. Bake.
  8. Cut and serve or transfer into grab-and-go containers.
  9. Keep in the refrigerator for up to four days.

How to make an egg bake recipe

This baked egg casserole is our go-to autumn meal prep recipe because it’s packed with fibre, vitamin A, minerals and of course, protein. We selected carrots, sweet potato, red bell peppers, kale, onions and garlic to create a tasty and colourful combo, while also adding a wide area of nutrients available from vegetables that are in season and easily available at the farmers’ market.

You can replace them with your own favorite vegetables – broccoli, mushrooms, chard, spinach, beets, pumpkin – any would work, but we recommend choosing vegetables that are in season to get the maximum from their nutritional load. To make our egg bake recipe more satiable we added crumbled goat cheese, but you can skip this step for a skinnier version, or replace it with your favorite cheese (even tofu would make a good choice).
