This all started when I saw a picture of a deliciously cheesy, egg-filled bread bowl on Facebook. You may or may not already know I have an obsession with eggs. I think they're great, anytime, day or night. (See some of my other favorite eggs for dinner recipes here.) So of course I had to ask Google how to make it. Immediately.
I reviewed a few recipes, and they all included sliced ham. After reading through the recipes to figure out the best way to make them vegetarian, I became convinced the ham was somewhat necessary, to prevent the egg from soaking into the bread, so I substituted it with sliced Tofurkey. For the bread I used par-baked mini paninis, and I used shredded lite mozzarella, both from Trader Joe's. And then I followed Recipe Tin Eats' instructions to the T.
This recipe is ridiculously easy, takes less than 30 minutes start to finish, requires virtually no cleanup, and my pregnant self is already craving it again. Bonus: each bread bowl is under 300 cals (if you care about that kinda thing, which I do). We ate it for dinner, with a kale power salad from Sprouts, but I had leftovers for breakfast the next day, which I just wrapped in a paper towel and microwaved for about 30 seconds, and it was equally delicious. I can already tell this will be a go-to quick and easy post-partum dinner.
What are some of your fave 30 minute or make-ahead meals?
I have to admit I am not a huge fan of eggs but every now and then I like an open face egg sandwich and i only like eggs sunny side up like that. Not scrambled!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...I eat 2 eggs every morning, scrambled. I can't do it any other way. Not a fan of eggs at all but eat them for the protein while preggo. An egg sandwich does sound good though. What's not to love about a sandwich? Of course, I'll have to adjust for the scrambled egg ;)
