Baked egg dishes are a great way to infuse vegetables at breakfast while also preparing multiple servings for easy meals to reheat at another time. Or they can be a fast way to prepare eggs that isn’t a single serve cooking method! The sky is the limit regarding omelet add-ins but of course at Summerfield, we always think veggies are a great place to start. Now you’ve added fiber, vitamins and minerals to protein-rich eggs for a nourishing start to the day. Make it a plate method meal by pairing with your favorite breakfast starch!
