Caprese Egg Bake
This recipe comes to us from Lee of Fit Foodie Finds
Ingredients:
12 slices Dave's Killer Bread 21 Whole Grains and Seeds
2 cups medium tomatoes, quartered
8 oz mozzarella balls
8 eggs, large
1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
coconut oil cooking spray
fresh basil, to taste
aged balsamic vinegar, to taste
Directions:
First, preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with coconut oil cooking spray.
Make egg mixture by whisking together 8 large eggs, 1 cup almond milk, Italian seasoning and salt. Set aside.
Slice 12 pieces of bread into thirds, turn 90º and slice into thirds again.
Place half of the bread cubes in the casserole dish. Then, place half the mozzarella balls and half the tomatoes on top. Cover with remaining bread cubes and then top with the second half of the mozzarella balls and tomatoes.
Evenly pour egg mixture on top of bread and use your hands to submerge bread into egg mixture completely. You want to make sure everything is moist!
Bake at 350ºF for 25-30 minutes or until the top layer of bread begins to turn golden brown.
Let egg bake sit for 5-10 minutes before topping with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil.
Slice and serve with aged balsamic vinegar.
