Diabetic-Friendly Cheesy Baked Egg Casserole
Start your morning
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Crack all the eggs into the baking dish. Add the almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk directly in the dish until the mixture is smooth.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the egg mixture.Scatter your choice of meats and/or vegetables on top. No need to pre-cook most ingredients unless they release a lot of liquid (like mushrooms or spinach). Frozen veggies can be added directly, too.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve hot.
