Sick of salad? This egg bake is LOADED with veggies and roasted potatoes for a healthy breakfast, or lunch. Perfect to feed a crowd on a holiday morning!
Every year on Thanksgiving and Christmas I try to make a healthy, yet holiday worthy tasty, breakfast bake for the morning. On these indulgent days, I try to help myself and my family get in some veggies and protein in the morning because lord knows the rest of the day is a crap shoot. So at least I know there is one “on track” meal amidst all the holiday sugar.
This casserole is a variation of what I usually make. The best part is this can be prepped up to three days ahead of time. Yep, THREE days!
If I were making this ahead of time, I would complete recipe instructions steps 1-5, as you see in the collage above. Then I would cover the casserole dish with saran wrap or a lid and store in the fridge overnight (or up to three days.) Once you are ready to bake all you would have to do is whisk the eggs and pour it over the casserole dish.
Three days would be the max though because you are kind of at the mercy of the defrosted spinach and precooked chicken. If you do plan to store it that long, make sure it’s airtight and in the back of the fridge where it’s as cold as possible.
You may even want to wait on defrosting the spinach and add that in right before you do the eggs. Just my suggestions, up to you sweetie!
