Easy Egg Bake

Hey guys its Catherine from Collective Passions! Today I’m going to be sharing a yummy recipe perfect for meal prepping for the week. This recipe is something I came up with when I was tired of making eggs every single day, why go through that trouble when you can just reheat an egg bake? An egg bake is extremely versatile so feel free to add your favorite veggies and cheeses.

I have experimented with different versions and found this combination works best.

Egg Bake Recipe
1 Carton of Egg Whites
4 Eggs
One medium Zucchini
Half a carton of mini portabella mushrooms
Half a carton of tomatoes (or more depending on your preference)

Optional:
Add any veggie you want: onions, spinach, peppers, etc.
Add cheese on top (highly suggested), I usually add Daiya cheese, but cheddar would taste great as well.

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375
  2. Get out a large bowl, add your egg white carton and four eggs to the bowl
    whisk together and place aside
  3. In the meantime, get our your veggies and start chopping! I suggest chopping the veggies into smaller pieces.1
  4. Add all the veggies with the eggs in the bowl and mix togetherVeggies and Eggs mixed together
  5. Spray a pan (I use olive oil spray, or coconut oil spray) I usually use a large rectangular glass Pyrex pan (about 4 quartz) and pour your bowl into the pan
  6. Spread everything over evenly and add your cheese to the topReady for the oven!
  7. Bake for 30 minutes (add or minus 5 minutes depending on your pan size)
  8. Cut into squares and cool completely before putting it in the refrigerator (to avoid condensation and the egg bake getting soggy)Out of the oven and ready to serve
  9. Enjoy!

This recipe is super easy to make, it’ll take less than 20 minutes to prepare, and is perfect for on the go. Have you ever made an egg bake or egg muffins before? Leave it in the comments.

Avocado Pesto Cream Pasta

Hey loves! It’s Catherine, today I am back to Guest blog and share another delicious and easy recipe perfect for summertime. I just recently moved to Raleigh, NC so I know first hand cooking in the heat is dreadful and turning on the oven is a huge no. This recipe is light, dairy free and can be modified with all different types of pasta and ingredients. 1Photo Cred: OhSheGlows

  • Basil leaves (fresh about 5-6)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • While your pasta is cooking, get out your food processor or blender/ Vitamix

  2. Cut your ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out both sides into the food processor along with your lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper
