Egg & veggie casserole…

I made this last night for dinner and it was delicious!
For lunch today I reheated ¼ of the dish in the oven at 375F for 10 minutes, placed in a bowl and added 1/8th of an avocado and 2TBSP of salsa and hot sauce.
 
Ingredients:
Non-stick cooking spay
3 cloves garlic (smashed)
1 yellow onion  (chop)
2 bunches broccolini (chop)
4 cups spinach
2 TBSP fresh rosemary (chop)
2 small Yukon Gold Potatoes (chop into very thin slices)
Spices to taste: Tumeric, cayenne, salt & pepper
2 cups egg whites
4 eggs
Directions:
1)   Pre-heat over to 375F
2)   Spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Sautee the garlic (smashed), with onion chopped for 3-5 minutes or until golden.  Add the broccolini and spinach for another few minutes. 
3)   In a medium bowl mix egg whites with eggs and spices then add the vegetable mixture.
4)   Spray the same pan with more non-stick spray, sautee rosemary and potato slices until browned.
5)   Line the bottom of a casserole dish with the potatoes and then add the egg and vegetable mixture.
6)   Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes.  Vegetables give off water as they cook, don’t mistake this water for runny eggs.

This is a hearty healthy meal on its own or you can serve with a garden salad.  I make enough to enjoy a few servings and I freeze the rest for another time.
