Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup milk any kind!
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese I prefer a sharp cheddar but any kind works, even feta!
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish.
  2. Whisk together eggs, greek yogurt, milk, and seasonings.
  3. Add cheese and mix well
  4. Additional toppings
  5. Sausage & Cheese: 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage
  6. Veggie egg bake: 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, onions, and chopped tomatoes
  7. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden.
  9. Let cool, slice, and serve!

Notes

Bake low and slow at 325°F! Lowering the temperature allows the egg bake to cook a little more gently and makes the texture a little softer and creamier (goes a long way for those of us with egg texture issues).
Bake until the center is set, this means, the center is not jiggly. If you are unsure, simply poke the center with a toothpick or butter knife, if it comes out clean, its ready!
The sausage variation may take a few extra minutes since it is more dense
If using frozen veggies, it'll add a bit of baking time, but it will still be done when the center is no longer jiggly and a knife or toothpick inserted in the middle come out clean.
