I like to go meatless at least once a week (though I don’t always get to) and recently, I decided to make baked eggs.  This would also make an amazing New Year’s Day brunch dish (if you’re still looking for ideas).

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites + 2 whole eggs (large)
• A little more than 1/4 cups of milk
• 1/3 cups of shredded cheese (I used an Asiago, Parmesan and Romano blend), divided
• 4 slices of tomatoes
• 1 cup of chopped onions
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp each of oregano and basil

Directions:

• Line the bottom of the baking dish with the onions and tomatoes
• Sprinkle half of the cheese over the vegetables
• Whisk the eggs, milk, herbs and black pepper together
• Add the egg mixture to the baking dish and top with the remaining cheese
• Place in the oven and bake at 375 until the eggs set, about 20-25 minutes

Serve with crusty bread and a green salad.

Note: Next week, I will be posting a recipe for a lower-fat, lower gluten banana bread, again, just in time for New Year’s brunch.
