Easy Egg Bake Ingredients
Eggs are a non-negotiable, other than that you can pretty much use whatever vegetables and protein you have in your fridge. Here’s what I used:
- eggs
- shredded chicken
- green olives
- parsley
- red pepper
- carrot
- cheddar cheese
- some butter
- a small onion
That is all and you will be amazed!
How To Make An Easy Breakfast Egg Bake
Remember to preheat your oven to 180C/350F. That’s step 0.
So, the first step does take a little bit of time (like 5 minutes), but I highly recommend you don’t skip it, because it adds extra flavor. And it is: to chop and stir fry the vegetables for a bit. So the onions, red pepper, grated carrot all go into a nonstick pan and get stirred at medium high with some butter.
Then it’s time to mix it all together. Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk them well. Stir in the chicken, the vegetables that should have cooled off a bit, parsley, olives and cheddar cheese.
Transfer to a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes or until the egg bake turns golden-brown.
Let it cool off for a few minutes, slice and enjoy!
Egg Muffins?
Now if you’re very particular about shapes, which I honestly can’t relate, but whatever you want – you can bake these into muffin cups. Silicone will be best, because these will pop right out. If not, make sure to grease the pan really well and to work your way around the edges with a knife once the muffins have cooled off a bit.
If all that work isn’t worth it for you, do like me. Bake it all in one pan and eat it. One step at a time.
