Serve Eggs Anytime
Breakfast foods like eggs and bread are staples in any kitchen. But why limit them to the morning? Transform these basics into delightful dinner options for quick and satisfying meals.
One versatile dish to consider is a strata. Meaning "layers," a Tomato Strata Florentine is made by layering cubed bread, torn spinach, and seasoned chopped tomatoes. An egg and milk custard is poured over these layers, making the bread puff beautifully during baking.
For personal servings or varied meal times, bake in individual custard cups which can be refrigerated and microwaved later. For a family-size portion, use a baking pan. You can prepare the strata the night before; simply leave instructions to pop it into the oven for whoever gets home first.
This budget-friendly combination is nutrient-rich. With cheese and milk, the eggs fulfill about a third of your daily protein needs, while the bread and tomato provide carbohydrates. These wholesome ingredients deliver a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals with fewer than 200 calories and just 8 grams of fat per serving.
Other breakfast dishes can also make excellent dinners. Quick-cooking scrambled eggs pair well with pasta or rice, enhanced by onions, peppers, or mushrooms. Poached eggs complement breads, veggies, and cheeses perfectly.
