homesteading egg bake
This is an old family recipe that originally had a biscuit mix crust but I replaced the biscuit crust with this delicious zucchini or cauliflower crust and it is a match made in heaven. The sour cream egg filling is divine! A moist egg bake with a hint of creaminess and delicious pop of garlic will have your taste buds dancing. The fact that it is low carb and whole food healthy will have your homesteading mama self fulfilled and satisfied.
I’ll give you the base recipe, but it is really versatile with what you can add to it. Check out the notes at the bottom for our favorite add-ins and substitutes. 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED 
A mixing bowl
12” cast iron skillet or 9x13” baking pan
8 eggs
1/3 cup mayo
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp minced onion (dried or fresh)
½ tsp garlic salt (reduce if using salty meat like ham or sausage)
1/8 tsp pepper
1 cup chicken (or any meat of choice. See notes)
1 cup shredded cheese like cheddar or Colby blend
½ cup spinach or leafy green of choice

MAKE IT
1.    Prepare your crust following the recipe for Zucchini/cauliflower crust. Once the crust is out of the oven, lower the temp to 350.
2.    Mix the eggs, mayo, sour cream and spices together with a whisk. Then add the meat, cheese, and leafy greens.
3.    Pour it over the already prepared crust and pop in the already warm oven. 
4.    Bake it at 350 for 30-35 minutes until set in the middle. 

NOTES: Any cubed or shredded meat can be used in place of the chicken. We like our home-made sausage or ham the best. Reduce the salt about half when using a salty meat. Adding a little pre-cooked bacon is a nice touch as well. You can even omit the meat altogether. For the leafy greens, any will do. I stopped growing spinach in my garden and replaced it with Swiss Chard instead for higher more economical yield and easier growing in my area. Kale works great too, or you can even omit the greens altogether.

I hope you enjoy this wholesome family recipe as much as we do. For more recipes and homesteading lifestyle tips check out our community on Facebook, Home Instead; practical homesteading tips, tricks and recipes.

Meet Jackie Schmaltz

 
Hi! I'm Jackie Schmaltz, a ND farm wife, mom of 3, entrepreneur and wellness enthusiast. I love helping other moms live their healthiest, happiest, purpose-driven, best lives ever; even when they think they're too overwhelmed and busy. I have already helped thousands achieve this, and I'm ready to help you!

When I look back on my own journey that started 10 years ago and remember where I was and the struggles I was dealing with daily…..low energy, sick all the time, super bad digestive issues like chronic constipation and serious stomach pains, and oh yeah…I was broke too. 😉 But then something amazing happened….I found a solution….a better way of doing life! Along this journey I got pregnant with my first child (on purpose). And as any mother knows…..you want to do everything in your power to give your child the best life possible. So for me, that meant taking my health seriously and getting my bank account on track too (without having to get a "real job"). That was 10 years ago and friends, I have NOT looked back since!

Through lots of trial and error (and A LOT of reading and mentorship!), along with implementing some key principles into my everyday routine….I finally figured out what worked for ME and how I want to live. And now? Well let's just say it's a whole new ballgame……..my energy is through the roof most days, my digestion is 100% normal (no more pain!!), AND……..I've even managed to get out of debt and live financially independent in case something were to ever happen to my husband. So believe me when I say: it IS possible to find YOUR savvy life……you just need someone who has been there before to help guide you on your journey!
