About this Recipe
If you want to try a savory breakfast, then this egg-bake might be just what you were looking for.
And the fun part?
You can chop up whatever vegetable you have left in your fridge and add it to this easy to make savory dish.
Here, we used eggs, zucchini, feta, chicken sausage and grated cheese. But that’s not all!
To boost the protein in this recipe, we added blended cottage cheese. With about 12 grams of protein per 1/2 cup, you make sure to add that much needed protein to start your day off right.
