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 Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days.

I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
