How to Prepare this Greens and Goat Cheese Egg Bake:

This quick and easy recipe is created by layering the greens at the bottom of a baking pan, topping it with the egg and cottage cheese mixture and baking it in the oven. 

Only requiring a baking pan and a bowl, this recipe won’t leave you a pile of dishes. 

Tips for the Best Greens and Goat Cheese Egg Bake:

  1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh spinach and broccoli will give this dish great flavor and make sure you use up your produce before it goes bad. However, feel free to use frozen, this dish will still taste great. 
  2. Adjust to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasonings or add additional seasonings to meet the preferences of you and your family. 

Substitutions & Additions:

You can substitute or add any veggies into this egg bake, kale or arugula would make great green additions. Other options could be peppers, cauliflower, mushrooms and onions. 

Can You Make These Into Egg cups?

Absolutely!

Combine all ingredients into one bowl and scoop into individual muffin tins rather than adding to the baking dish. 

Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the egg cup comes out clean.

Storage for Greens and Goat Cheese Egg Bake:

Store this dish in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
