Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Generously coat two 8-inch square baking pans with no stick cooking spray; set aside.
- For Spinach, Bell Pepper and Swiss Eggs, heat oil in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, basil and parsley; cook and stir 3 minutes, or until tender crisp. Stir in spinach and cook 1 minute longer, just until wilted. Remove from heat; allow to cool 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper in blender container. Cover and process 30 seconds, just until smooth. Pour egg mixture into one of the prepared baking pans. Sprinkle bell pepper and spinach mixture evenly over top. Cover tightly with foil. Set aside.
- For Turkey Bacon and Cheddar Eggs, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and crushed jalapeno in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture into remaining prepared baking pan; sprinkle turkey bacon over top. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake eggs, side-by-side in oven, for 30 to 35 minutes or until eggs are set, rotating pans halfway through cooking. Remove from oven; let stand to cool 5 minutes.
- Run a knife or thin spatula around edges of eggs to separate from sides of pan. Invert eggs onto clean cutting boards and cut into four equal square portions. Top each portion of the Spinach and Pepper Eggs with 1/4 cup of the Swiss cheese. Top each portion of the Turkey Bacon Eggs with 1/4 cup of the Cheddar cheese. Set aside.
- Arrange bottom half of bagels or English muffins on large sheet pan lined with foil or parchment paper. Use a wide spatula to transfer egg portions, placing each portion onto bottom half of sandwich. Bake 3 to 5 minutes, just until cheese is melty. Remove from oven and finish with top half of bagels or muffins to assemble.
To make ahead for easy breakfast meal prep, assemble sandwiches without melting cheese in oven. Wrap each sandwich in a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze. To reheat in the oven, bake foil-wrapped sandwiches in preheated 325°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until heated through. To reheat in the microwave, remove from foil and wrap loosely with paper towels. Microwave on HIGH about 2 minutes, flipping sandwich halfway through cooking. Let stand 1 minute in microwave before serving.
