High-Protein Egg Bake
Ingredients:

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled turkey sausage or cooked bacon (optional but boosts protein)
  • 1 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cottage cheese for an extra protein kick

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until smooth.
  4. Add cheese, meat (if using), spinach, bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. If using cottage cheese, fold it in now.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before cutting into squares.

💡 Tips:

✅ Add herbs like parsley, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor.
✅ For more protein, sprinkle with extra shredded cheese or top with Greek yogurt or avocado slices before serving.
✅ Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 2–3 months.
