There are honestly few things that I love more than egg bakes. They are just the perfect thing to whip up on a Friday and eat all week long for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
They act as a perfect vehicle for vegetables and cheese (2 of my favorite things!) and offer high quality protein. You can easily serve them up with some whole wheat toast or roasted sweet potatoes plus a piece of fruit and have a fairly well-balanced meal.
Honestly, what’s NOT to love about that?
I’ve done many different combinations of egg bakes (if you’re a long-time reader, you might remember my broccoli, pepper and feta egg bake recipe from last winter!) but this might just be one of my favorites.
It was born out of a “I need something to eat but didn’t go grocery shopping so what can I whip up that I have on hand?” type of question.
Please tell me I’m not alone in asking that kind of question!
Anyway, from that came this and I’m sure glad it did because it was not only delicious, but made it easy to get some good veggies and protein in at every meal!

Hi Cait!
This recipe looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend. Does this freeze well?
Hi there! That’s a good question – I kept mine in a tupperware for the week in the fridge and it did just fine but I didn’t freeze it so I’m not 100% sure how it would freeze!
