Full of Protein and vegetables. Great as an after workout recovery meal, quick breakfast, after school snack or vegetarian dinner when paired with a salad. Versatile recipe just change the veggies you add into the base egg mixture. I have even just added frozen broccoli florets and shredded cheddar when in a pinch.
INGREDIENTS:
1 bag (8 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and grated
8 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1/2 cup crumbled soft goat cheese
1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Place the frozen spinach into a colander to thaw and then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and salt and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until softened. Add the sweet potato and heat until the potato is tender, about 3 minutes. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream or yogurt. Stir in the goat cheese, if using, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, chili flakes, and black pepper. Stir in the thawed spinach and sweet potato mixture. Divide the egg mixture among 12 standard-sized, silicon or greased metal muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
Enjoy!
