Storage and reheating

To store this meal, wrap individual portions in plastic wrap or foil and leave in the fridge for up to three days; beyond that point, I recommend freezing individual portions, also wrapped in plastic wrap or foil. To heat, defrost frozen portions in the microwave, and then crisp up using a toaster oven or air fryer for just a few minutes. This egg bake (along with many of my other egg bakes) freeze really well, and make for a great meal prep for that reason.

How to make this Italian egg bake with prosciutto and vegetables

To make this dish, start by preheating the oven to 375F. Seed and chop the bell peppers, chop the onion, and trim the ends off the asparagus. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Add the vegetables to a frying pan sprayed with olive oil spray over medium heat. Add ½ tsp of kosher salt. Toss to coat. Cover the frying pan with a lid, and steam the vegetables for about 7-8 minutes. Remove the lid every so often to toss the vegetables around. Spray a baking dish with olive oil spray or non-stick spray. Chop the prosciutto. In a mixing bowl, prepare the egg mixture by adding the eggs, egg whites, yogurt, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley together. Whisk to combine. Add in 1 cup of the mozzarella. Add the pre-cooked vegetables to the baking dish, and then top with the prosciutto. Then, pour the egg mixture on top. Spread the ingredients in an even layer. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Bake the dish for 35-40 minutes or until firm and set up.
