High Protein Breakfast Casserole
If you’re looking for a delicious, savory breakfast that can be prepped in advance and will keep you full until lunch, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you. This egg bake is similar to a crustless quiche or a frittata.
Servings: 4 portions
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tablespoons avocado oil or any oil
- 400 grams lean ground turkey any ground meat (1 pound)
- 1 onion finely diced
- salt to taste
- 8 eggs large
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup chives finely diced
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese or any grated cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 20 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 grams
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Add the ground meat and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the water has evaporated and the meat begins to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add in the finely diced onions and season with salt. Cook it until the meat and onions have some color. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the meat mixture cool.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs. Add the cottage cheese, pinch of salt, and mix well.
- Add in the cooled meat mixture, chives, grated cheese, flour, and baking powder. Mix well.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper and pour in the egg mixture. Spread the mixture out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until set (the eggs should not jiggle). A skewer/fork/toothpick should come out clean once inserted.
- Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
