Easy Squash, Spinach & Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Starting off the day with a serving of greens just makes me feel ahead of the game. I like to use spinach but kale would work just as well. Adding some seasonal vegetables into this squash, spinach & goat cheese breakfast casserole gives it some heartiness as well as a boost of Vitamin C and Beta Carotene.
How to make this Squash, Spinach & Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole
The easiest way to assemble this breakfast is to use leftover butternut squash if you have it. If not, no sweat you can purchase frozen butternut squash or easily make your own. Most grocery stores now sell butternut squash already peeled and cut so all you have to do is steam it or sauté it. I popped mine into the air fryer for 10 minutes and it was perfect.
Once you have your squash ready to go simply combine it with your spinach in a large bowl. Next, we add in your eggs, I chose to use a combination of eggs and liquid egg substitute to up the protein and keep the calories and fat a little lower. Finally, we add in some goat cheese well, because Goat cheese.
Next, we gently pour the mixture into a pie dish or casserole and pop it into the oven. It cooks for about 40 minutes and then it’s ready to enjoy. It’s easy to cut it into 4 individual portions to enjoy all week. Super easy!
Prepping a high protein breakfast like this one might just be the jump start you need to crush your day. Hope you give it a try!
