Shari’s Simple Egg Bake Recipe

In an effort to think of something to blog about this week, I realized that I don’t feel super inspired by much right now. Normally I am in the beginning stages of spring cleaning fever or planning an upcoming adventure… instead I am just here, growing a baby and praising myself for making home cooked meals this week. But seriously I haven’t made a legitimate meal in quite a while and this week I have made ALL of them… I deserve a medal, thank you. 

Speaking of meal planning and meals… a recipe that I often get asked about is my favorite (and simple) egg bake. I make several versions of this but my tried and true is the ham rendition. It is high in protein and packed with flavor! It was one of my favorite clean keto breakfast go-to’s.

Shari’s Simple Egg Bake Recipe

  • 12 eggs 
  • Diced ham 
  • 2 bell peppers cut small
  • ½ onion finely chopped
  • 1 small can of diced green chilies (mild)
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. 

Prep all the veggies and make sure the ham is diced into small cubes. Saute the bell pepper and onion together on medium heat. Once the onions start to turn translucent, add in the ham and the can of mild diced green chilies. Combine and remove from the stovetop. I tend to drain out any extra liquid at this point.

In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs and sprinkle in some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Once your mixture is stirred, add in the other ingredients and stir until combined. 

Now take a greased pan (13X9 inch), add your mixture, and place it in the oven. I set a timer for 20 minutes and add time as necessary until the middle looks cooked.
PRO TIP: I poke it with a knife or tooth pick to make sure it comes out clean.

After the egg bake cools, I portion it out for the week in tupperware. My husband and I like to warm it up and add salt/pepper (to taste) with a side of avocado. YUM!!! This is one of our favorite breakfast dishes and we even have it for lunch sometimes.

Enjoy and let me know if you make this!
