This Baked Eggs with Veggies recipe is low carb and gluten-free. It’s loaded with veggies such as turnip, sweet potato, zucchini, and homemade tomato sauce.
Hello guys,
How are you doing? I am very excited about meeting friends and waiting for my nephew to be born here in Brazil. Meanwhile, I am enjoying spending time with my sister and doing things together because when he arrives, we will have time only for him 😉
Here in Brazil, we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. So, in the middle of November, we already start to decorate the house for Christmas. Yes, I know it may seem very early, but that’s the way we do in northeastern Brazil. Last weekend, we went to the shopping mall and bought some Christmas decorations and ornaments for our tree. In Brazil, we don’t use a real tree a lot. It is very rare to find one and for this reason, we have a fake one. Of course, I prefer the smell of a real pine tree, but I am pretty happy with my fake tree too. Believe or not, we already had so much fun preparing it and now it is all done.
Today I am sharing with you a delicious and easy gluten-free Baked Eggs with Veggies dish. This baked eggs with veggies is one of my favorite baked dishes because you can add any vegetables you want or have on hand. If you don’t have one of the ingredients, you can add another one like broccoli, carrots, or even eggplant. I also used turnips in the recipe because they are a great potato substitute. Turnips contain fewer calories per serving than potatoes and also they provide a good source of vitamin C. This dish is delicious because of the eggs. I just added three eggs to this dish, but you can put as much as you want. It is up to you.
