High Protein Baked Eggs With Vegetables
A simple high-protein breakfast bake made with eggs, egg whites, and veggies. A great dairy-free recipe that works for meal prep, brunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups egg whites
- 2 bell peppers diced. I like orange and yellow for this
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease or spray an 8x8-inch baking dish
- Heat your olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add your peppers and onions and cook for 5-8 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt and 3-4 turns of freshly ground pepper.
- Add your veggies into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs and egg whites. Make sure all of the yolks are mixed well with the egg whites. Season with a pinch of salt and 2-3 turns of fresh black pepper.
- Gently pour the eggs over the vegetables, creating an even layer throughout the pan.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the center is no longer jiggly and a knife tester comes out clean.
