Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Spinach: If using fresh spinach, wash and dry thoroughly, then coarsely chop it. If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain any excess water before chopping.
- Onion & Garlic: Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
- Artichokes: Chop the artichokes into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Red Pepper: Dice the red pepper into small pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook the spinach for 3-4 minutes until it wilts. If using fresh spinach, you might need to do this in batches. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk until well combined. Season with the salt and white pepper.
- Add the sautéed spinach mixture, chopped artichokes, diced red pepper, chopped dill, grated parmesan cheese, and half of the crumbled feta cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled feta cheese on top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bake is set in the center and has a light golden brown color around the edges.
- Allow the breakfast bake to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Spinach, Feta, and Artichoke Breakfast Bake!
Tips:
- Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the bake.
- You can use fresh, frozen, or canned artichokes—just make sure they are well-drained and chopped.
- For a deeper flavor, sauté the onions and garlic before adding them to the mixture.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as basil or oregano, to customize the flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- This dish can be made the night before; simply cover and refrigerate, then bake in the morning.
- Serve with a side of whole-grain toast or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal.
In just a few steps, you can create a delicious and wholesome breakfast that will energize you for the day ahead. This versatile recipe is also a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet and can easily be prepared ahead of time for busy mornings.
