It’s safe to say Michael and I go through eggs like it’s our JOB. We seriously make them every Saturday, Sunday and then some weeknights for an easy dinner.

Typically I make my eggs with cottage cheese, salsa, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper, but other times I’ll switch it up and make a jammy 6 minute egg sandwich with hummus and veggies.

Either way I make them, there’s no way I’m taking the time to make them in the morning. Instead, I opt for overnight oats like these strawberry cheesecake protein oats or my classic peanut butter chia seed oats.

Y’all… This healthy high protein egg bake casserole has been a game changer to my breakfast routine!

How can I get 30g of protein for breakfast?

This is a question I get asked all the time and this egg bake is your answer! It’s packed with protein from the eggs, feta, and delicious ham.

Serve with a side of greek yogurt and you’re crushing the breakfast protein game!

What to add to breakfast casserole

This high protein egg bake has ham which adds the perfect amount of saltiness and sweetness to this easy egg bake. It seriously melts in your mouth and I found myself continuously snacking on it while making this egg bake!

I’m a HUGE salt lover, but I didn’t need to any to this recipe because it came out perfectly thanks to the feta and ham.

Naturally, I had to add in some veggies, too.

I added in 2 cups of spinach that of course shrank down to practically nothing. You can read more about that in this post — HA. I also added sun-dried tomatoes because, well, why not?

I just love them and think they pair nicely with feta and spinach. They add a sweetness and I’m also a big fan of their texture. It adds somewhat of a meatiness to the egg bake if you know what I mean?
