Description

A delicious and healthy baked egg bowl featuring quinoa or brown rice, fresh vegetables, and protein.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 eggs per bowl
  • to taste low-fat cheese, sprinkled on top
  • enough to fill cooked quinoa or brown rice to fill ramekins or muffin tin bases
  • 1 handful fresh spinach or kale per bowl
  • 1 small handful cherry tomatoes, halved, per bowl
  • to preference cooked chicken or turkey sausage, portioned
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • to taste paprika

Instructions

  1. Start by evenly distributing your cooked quinoa or brown rice into greased ramekins or an oven-safe muffin tin. This forms a hearty bed for your eggs and toppings.
  2. Layer in your cooked chicken or turkey sausage, then add fresh spinach or kale along with halved cherry tomatoes. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and paprika to enhance the flavors.
  3. Carefully crack one or two eggs over each bowl depending on your appetite. The eggs act as a binder that holds all ingredients together as they bake.
  4. Add a sprinkle of low-fat cheese over each bowl to melt and create a creamy finish during baking.
  5. Place the bowls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and yolks are cooked to your preference.
