"Kitchen Sink" Egg Bake

"I call this "Kitchen Sink" because it really will absorb just about anything you have on hand -- be creative! Just about any cooked meat or sausage works, and you can add extra vegies or leftover potatoes (cut bite-size). Any choice of cheese works, too -- just use your imagination to choose seasoning accordingly. Depending on what cheese and meat is used, this can also be very low calorie. And so EASY. Sometimes I combine the meat with everything else, then serve at room temperature in small squares as finger food at a party or picnic."

  1. A nice surprise! I was a bit skeptical since there wasn't any liquid included, but the dish came out very moist and tasty! It was rather flat, but that could be helped with adding other veggies. I wanted to make this as healthy as possible, so I used ff cottage cheese and ff cheddar shreds, turkey ham and fresh spinach. I also added some chopped onion. I used a square glass baking dish since I halved the recipe too. Very versatile recipe! Thanks Meredith K! MERP'd for Heatlhy Choices tag.
