Ingredients in Mediterranean Egg Bake

The ingredients in this healthy Mediterranean egg bake are healthy, easy to find at any grocery store, and can be substituted for any other ingredients you like.

Eggs Eggs are the perfect quick, easy and healthy breakfast staple. Packed with protein, healthy fats and choline, they are the perfect way to start your day. This recipe calls for a dozen eggs. 

Feta Feta cheese has a unique brine-y flavor that works so well in this breakfast casserole. Substitution: If you want to make this recipe  dairy-free, crumbled goat cheese will work, or your favorite dairy-free cheese option. 

Roasted Red Peppers With smoky, tangy, and sweet flavors, roasted red peppers add so much to the flavor profile of this dish. Some optional substitutions are diced red bell peppers, yellow peppers or onions.

Cherry Tomatoes Cherry tomatoes add more color and flavor to this easy healthy breakfast casserole. Tomatoes also contain lycopene, an antioxidant that helps fight free-radicals in your body.

Kalamata Olives The briney, salty flavor of kalamata olives adds another level to this breakfast casserole recipe making it a unique flavor profile for the first meal of the day. You could skip the olives if you don’t like them, or use green or black olives. 

Spinach Spinach is the perfect superfood that increases the nutritional value of this dish. I chop the leaves fairly small so they are evenly dispersed throughout the casserole. 

Cottage Cheese If you want to increase the protein found in your breakfast, adding cottage cheese is an easy way to do that. I typically use fat free or low fat cottage cheese in this greek breakfast bake, but if you want to keep this recipe dairy-free, you can skip the cottage cheese all together. Another high protein option is to use greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese. 

Seasonings The seasonings in this easy breakfast casserole are simple, letting the other ingredients shine. Using just garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper, this recipe comes together perfectly. 

Other Ingredient Options Looking for other flavors? This breakfast bake has unlimited options–really just whatever your personal preference is! You could add diced artichoke hearts, diced red onion, zucchini or fresh herbs like parsley. This recipe is a vegetarian egg bake recipe, but you could easily add meat like ground turkey sausage, diced ham, or  crumbled bacon.

If you want this recipe to last all week, store in an airtight container, or a 9x13 casserole dish with a lid, in the fridge for up to seven days. To reheat this recipe, I recommend reheating one slice at a time in the microwave for one and a half minutes to two minutes or until heated through.
