Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 cup milk
- 8 ounces chicken sausage
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, for about 7 minutes.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk until fully combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes over the sausage and vegetable layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into squares.
Serve warm, and enjoy your high-protein savory breakfast egg bake!
