Easy Italian Baked Eggs (gluten free!)


Pinit

This weekend was a busy one – I had a lot on my To-Do list, and it all got done (woo hoo!) – including making this lovely recipe for the Hubby on Saturday morning!

I’d seen this recipe on Pinterest by Damn Delicious and I knew my Hubby would LOVE it (having Italian in his blood and all!) – he’s a big fan of eggs, and loves anything with Italian flavours. Every now and then I am an extra good wife and make the Hubster a nice healthy breakfast to get him going for the day, after all he’s a hard workin’ man!Β 

I decided to add on to the original recipe by throwing some onion and spinach in to the mix!

Β 

Then, I lightened up the original recipe by using light mozzarella and light parmesan, and scrapped the milk altogether!Β 

This is a super comforting, warm, and filling breakfast, and surprisingly doesn’t break the calorie bank!Β 

The recipe was a dream to put together too – easy as pie!

I just sautΓ©ed up the onions and spinach in a pan on the stovetop, added in marinara sauce, and heated it all through – then poured it all into a ceramic soup mug.Β 

Cracked in egg one. Then egg two.Β 

Then sprinkled with light mozzarella, light parmesan, and a dash of Italian seasoning.Β 

Then into the oven it went!

10 short minutes later, a bubbly, cheesy, eggy perfection!Β 

The yolks were perfect, still nice and runny, and great for dipping some toasted sprouted grain bread in!Β 

Dip. dip. dip.Β 

Yum.

The best thing about this recipe?!

It kind of smelled like pizza. Lol!

Yep, pizza….but in a delicious, mouthwatering, gimme-some-a-that way!Β 

The hubby was impressed, and gobbled up the whole dish… after I taste tested of course!

Success!

This is a perfect, lightened up way to bake eggs on the weekend and impress your house guests, or those people who are just there to stay!Β
