It’s incredible and edible…

Eggs!

You can scrambled them with a bit of cheese...

Or hard boil for a quick and portable breakfast in the AM...

You can have them sunny side up...

Or poached...

But, to be perfectly honest…the old standby ways of making eggs can get tiresome after a while...

So here are a few recipes (with modifications and options) to break you out of your standard egg rut….

Andrea’s Broccoli Sausage Egg Bake (YAY for little sister's cooking skills!)

Ingredients

• 8-10 eggs
• ¼ cup skim milk (or coconut milk if you don’t tolerate dairy well)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 cup cooked, chopped, broccoli
• 1 cup cooked, crumbled, sausage (use turkey sausage to reduce the fat and cholesterol or veggie sausage—but use caution a lot of veggie sausage crumbles and patties contain wheat or gluten)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1-1.5 cups cooked hash browns
• Fresh parsley to garnish

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix eggs, skim milk, ground mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Spray casserole dish with cooking spray (make sure it’s gluten free!) or lightly grease with coconut oil.
• Layer broccoli, then sausage, then egg mixture
• Cook hashbrowns on the stove—about half way (if they are frozen this gets the water out of them)
• Bake egg/sausage/broccoli mix for approximately 20 minutes
• Take egg/sausage/broccoli mix out of the oven and put hashbrowns on top.
• Put casserole back in oven for another 10 minutes or so (or until you can stick a fork in the middle and it comes out clean and the potatoes on top are brown)
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley

*If broccoli/sausage/cheddar isn’t your pleasure….try fresh basil, chopped tomato, garlic, and asiago….or ham, chopped onion, and swiss cheese…

Jamie’s Egg Pops

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons fat free half and half (or coconut milk, or regular milk)
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• ½ tablespoon dill
• 2 tablespoons light cream cheese

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix eggs, half and half, salt and pepper, dill, and cream cheese (you may want to soften the cream cheese or prepare to whip this mix a while)
• Pour egg mixture equally into 6 muffin tins (make sure you have greased the tins with coconut oil or cooking spray)
• Bake for 20 minutes or until you see the egg ‘muffins’ actually start to pop out like this…

Dill and Cream Cheese

Enjoy! Serve immediately if you can, because they lose that nice puff after a few minutes.

If you aren’t a dill person, try broccoli and cheddar cheese…also very tasty!
