The holidays are a beautiful time of year that bring about a lot of family time and traditions. Add one to your family this year with a nice holiday brunch or breakfast before all the festivities begin! I love starting my day with a filling breakfast with healthy fats, and egg bakes are the perfect way to do just that. I made this healthy, dairy free egg bake with a base of pasture raised eggs and added in onions, garlic, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and so much more! The “cheesiness” comes from the nutritional yeast, and there is also coconut milk which adds a creamy aspect. There is truly no better way to start a busy day in my opinion.
Ello Products:
I made this egg bake in my 8×8 Ello Baking Dish which is the perfect vehicle to bake and transport your dishes in. The baking dish is great for potlucks, meal prep and serving at different events and beyond. All of their baking dishes have crystal clear Tritan lids which are airtight and leak proof, so you never have to worry about anything getting messy when transporting your goods this holiday season. The dish keeps your food fresher longer, so you can prep things in advanced to make your holidays a little less hectic. Did I mention they are also dishwasher safe + BPA free?! Head to your local Target to pick one up today! You can also purchase them on their website and pick up a 9×13 Casserole dish as well!
They also sell reusable produce bags which I have been obsessing over lately. They are cute, and more importantly help reduce waste in grocery stores, etc. You can see them pictured below next to the egg bake. They would make for the perfect little stocking stuffer by helping your loved ones reduce their economic footprints this holiday season.

What I love about this recipe is that it is truly customizable. You can add or take out any vegetables you like or dislike, you can make it vegetarian, add in more meat – the opportunities are endless. If you aren’t dairy free, feel free to add in all of the cheese! Next time, I am definitely adding in feta or goat cheese for an extra creamy touch. Have a lot of family members to feed? Double the recipe and make it in the 9×13 Ello Casserole Dish!
