Asparagus Tomato Feta Egg Bake

May 21, 2018 by Audra's Appetite 4 Comments

Filled with spring vegetables, this is the perfect brunch recipe for weekend guests! You can even prep this ahead of time so all you have to do in the morning is stick it in the oven.

I love brunch. Sweet, savory, at home, or going out to a restaurant. It’s all good. I could easily eat breakfast foods anytime of the day. I’m all about breakfast for dinner. Sadly, Chris doesn’t feel quite as passionate about breakfast foods morning, noon, and night like I do, so we usually limit them to breakfast or brunch.

This was the first time I’ve added in asparagus to eggs, and definitely won’t be the last. This bake is bursting with tender asparagus, flavorful cherry tomatoes, salty feta, chicken sausage, and eggs. As I’m sure will become evident in future recipes, feta is one of my all-time favorite cheeses. It pairs so well with this recipe.

That being said, the beauty of this recipe is that it’s not an exact science. It’s perfect for substitutions to fit your preferences or what you have on hand. Any shredded cheese would also work well in place of feta. If you don’t have asparagus on hand, feel free to sub another veggie such as broccoli. You can easily omit the chicken sausage to make a vegetarian version. If desired, you could sub in cartoned egg whites (about 1/4 cup equals 1 egg for reference) for some of the whole eggs. You pretty much can’t go wrong!

I love making this when having weekend guests. I prep it the night before, so all I have to do in the morning is stick it in the oven! That frees me up to mix up a batch of muffins or other baked good to serve with this. Or, enough time to hop in the shower and get ready too!

If you have leftovers, you can portion this out to reheat for quick breakfasts throughout the week. I love having eggs for breakfast, but definitely don’t always have the time every morning to make them. This reheats well!
