Easy Baked Eggs (perfect for meal prep & make ahead)

These easy baked eggs are my favorite recipe for breakfast meal prep. They combine high protein, with lots of flavor, healthy & fresh vegetables and chicken sausage. Bake them in the oven in individual oven safe bowls for an easy meal prep option (or, on a sheet pan). This is an easy recipe you’ll love for healthy mornings!

Baked Egg Recipe

I needed something easy to prep myself for busy summer mornings. I will, without even thinking, eat one of my son’s muffins, or even just his leftovers, and before I know it, I’ve had my fill of kid food. These prevent me from snacking! I just grab an egg bowl from the fridge, add some fresh salsa, and I have a healthy, filling breakfast ready to go. That is why I love these so much. It takes the thought process of knowing I should be starting my day with protein & healthy ingredients out of my head. I just do it. That is the best type of way to start my day! 

You can make eggs a ton of different ways. Air fryer eggs, egg casseroles, roll up omelettes, the options are plentiful. I do have to say, this is probably my favorite method for a healthy breakfast involving eggs. I bought these oven safe meal prep containers. They work great for make ahead meals, because you can bake the ingredients right in them, put the lid on, and in the refrigerator it goes. Anything that saves me from doing more dishes is a win in my book! 

Ingredients for Baked Egg Bowls

• Eggs (I use 2 eggs per bowl) 
• Greek Yogurt 
  • This makes the eggs fluffy, but also adds a little more protein, too
• Onion 
  • I used white, green or yellow would work as well. 
• Red Bell Pepper
• Spinach
• Sausage
  • I make my own using this recipe, but store-bought works great, too. 
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cheese
  • Just enough to top with.

The best part about this recipe is how easy it is add whatever you have on hand in the refrigerator. You can use mushrooms, zucchini, even jalapeños if you like some kick. You can use lunch meat if you need to clear your refrigerator of that, too. 

Making Baked Eggs

To start this recipe, add eggs, Greek yogurt, and salt to a mixing bowl. The Greek yogurt adds moisture, resulting in super fluffy eggs. A benefit of using Greek yogurt with eggs is that it is also high in protein, so combined with the sausage and eggs, this is a recipe that will keep you full until lunch time!

Once the eggs, Greek yogurt, and salt are in a bowl, whisk together well. I actually like to use a handheld mixer to really whisk them good. You just want to mix them well enough that there are no cups of Greek yogurt with the eggs, so if you use a wire whisk by hand, you may get a little work out in too. 

Baking Eggs

Spray the glass containers with nonstick spray, and then equally divide the egg mixture, so each meal prep container bakes at an even rate. Add the mix-ins, and stir. Add some cheese on top, along with some fresh cracked pepper, and bake on a sheet pan until the egg is fully cooked through (about 25 minutes).

When baking eggs, you’ll want to do a thorough check to make sure they are done. The top of the egg bowls should be firm, however keep in mind that with the vegetables, there could be some excess moisture on top. Just bear this in mind when checking doneness of the eggs, if there is some liquid, it doesn’t mean the eggs aren’t cooked. 

The eggs will puff up when baking, but once they’ve been out of the oven for about 5 minutes, they will start to fall. This is normal. 

Alternate Baking Method: If you don’t have these glass containers, you can simple pour the egg mixture, along with toppings, into a greased 9x13inch casserole dish. Be sure the dish is at least 2.5 inches deep. You can then cut it into slices and place in bags, or to go containers for a portable lunch. 

Storing & Serving Tips

• I like to make 4-5 of these at a time for the week.
• They will last in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days, so plan accordingly.
• I like to eat them cold, but if you want to reheat them, just microwave for about 15 seconds at a time until warmed throughout. 
• I like these with some fresh salsa on them for a little kick.
