Chicken Chile Egg Bake
I enjoy being able to grab my breakfast eggs out of the frig, microwave on 50% power for a minute and enjoy. This egg bake (or frittata, or crustless quiche) has some great flavors and gives me a shot of greens as well. Eggs were on sale so I used a combination of what I had on hand.
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces Egg Beaters
- 16 ounces of Egg Whites
- 1 cup Chicken, Cooked and Chopped
- 2 cups Baby Spinach, Chopped
- 7 1/2 ounces Trader Joe's Lite Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
- 4 ounces Diced Green Chiles
- 4 tablespoons Salsa
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish with non stick spray (I prefer coconut oil spray)
- Layer the bottom of the baking dish with the chopped spinach
- In a bowl whisk together all of the other ingredients except the cheese
- Pour egg mixture over the spinach
- Add the cheese evenly across the top and with a fork, gently blend most of the cheese into the egg mixture
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until the center springs back when touched
- Remove from oven; cool slightly and cut and serve or cool and wrap individually and store in frig for quick breakfasts throughout the week
