Asparagus,Tomato and Dill Egg Bake

May 9, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hi Everyone!!

I have to tell you up front, I was so bad at dinner tonight!  Oh my gosh!  Here’s the excuse:  I was so busy at work, that I didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast or lunch, then I had my hair appointment after work, so I went 14 hours without eating, except for two cups of decaf coffee and a few almonds.  I was starving by the time I got home from the hair dressers.  I told myself, no going crazy and eating everything in sight!  I tend to do that when I’m hungry, so I told my Husband I have to eat and I’m to tired to cook, so we went and got burgers at Kinders BBQ.  First I will tell you I was good, I ordered it without mayo and cheese.  Yah!  I saved a couple hundred calories there.  But I did order some lime flavored sweet potato fries.  I couldn’t resist the fries, they are the best!  But when they served me my burger, I almost feel over!  It was two 1/3 pound patties!  TWO!!!  I was going to take a patty out, but my Husband said, enjoy it, you haven’t eaten today and at that point I didn’t care!  It was so good!  But I did only eat half of it, my Gosh it was HUGE!  I did manage to eat all my sweet potato fries though.  My dinner was so fantastic in a bad way!  Then I came home and calculated my calories to the best of my knowledge since they didn’t have a nutritional chart for the meals.  My dinner came in at about 1100 calories!  Man, what the heck!  I am glad I didn’t eat all the bun or the burgers.  But  dam!  Glad I didn’t eat anything else.  I guess you can say this was my splurge meal of the week!  You can bet my fanny I’ll be hitting the gym and working out hard tomorrow.  Sorry I had to get that off my chest!  That was so wrong!  I should have went to Panera Bread!  Do you ever do things like that?

Asparagus and Tomato Egg Bake

As you can see from today’s recipe, it’ s not a huge bad for you burger, but it’s the dinner I had the other night.  There is nothing wrong with eating breakfast for dinner!    I just wish my Husband liked to do that more often.  But with this meal I served him some bacon, so he was happy!!  This is my Baked Eggs with Asparagus, Tomatoes and Dill.

Asparagus and Tomato Egg Bake


The combination of tomato and asparagus is simply wonderful and to boot I added some fresh dill, which made it all the better.  For some odd reason in my CSA box last week, they gave me 4 asparagus spears.  How can I serve anyone dinner with 4 spears?  What do you do with that?  So that is when I thought of putting them into eggs.  Perfect!!  To make the asparagus soft, I cooked them in some water in the microwave for about a minute before baking them.  It worked out like a charm!  They turned bright green and were soft, but too soft.

Asparagus and Tomato Egg Bake

For the eggs I used 3/4 cups egg substitute.  I like the brand Redi-Egg, which I buy at Trader Joe’s.  Add some milk, scallions, onion and garlic powder and poured over my vegetables.  Baked it in the oven for 30 minutes and it turned out light and fluffy!  Oh and of course I added some lite mozzarella cheese on top.  You can use any kind of cheese you like, but I kind of have a thing for mozzarella.

Asparagus and Tomato Egg Bake

I like making egg bakes because you can add anything you like to them.  I served these at Christmas time and they were a hit.  My whole family said they never had baked eggs.  I’m like what?  I make them all of the time, but I make them for me, because when I say baked eggs, I get the ugh look.  Trust me, if you like quiche or frittatas you will love baked eggs!  What I did at Christmas time, was I let everyone fill their own ramekins with whatever filling these preferred.   They loved that idea!  Little Jenny had all cheese, my husband had bacon, cheese and mushrooms and Jenny’s boyfriend had his like mine, with onions, peppers and cooked chicken sausage.  I am sharing with you this recipe today because I thought it would be great to serve on Mother’s Day for breakfast or brunch.  Have a make your own egg bake bar!  It’s fun and you can set it up all cute!  That way everyone gets what they like!

Well my Peeps, I think I blabbed long enough!  I think I’m going to do some sit-up and some arm exercises before bed.  I need to burn a little bit of this hamburger off!  🙂

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Hey, 1100 calories in a day sounds like a pretty reasonable day to me! And it sounds like you deserved every bite! I think I deserve a nice egg bake like this one, it looks so delicious!

    Jennifer, This egg dish looks delicious. The ingredients sounds perfect with eggs. Have you ever cooked this in a 9″ pan or quiche pie plate? I’m wondering how the cooking time would differ in a larger pan.

      May 9, 2013 at 3:17 PM

      Thank you Joan! I haven’t made this one in a 9″ pie pan, but I have in the past with other recipes. I would say the cooking time would be about 40 – 45 minutes on 350 degrees.

    Ugh I just hate those days coming home from work starving, and in no mood to cook! I usually make the mistake of going to the grocery store too and buy everything in sight. Later I am like, why did I buy this?? This looks so healthy, I will make it for brunch this weekend!

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
