My Skinny Bacon, Asparagus and Swiss Egg Bake has a little bit of everything. It’s filling, savory and better yet–healthy! The flavors of the bacon, asparagus and cheese compliment each other perfectly. Meal prep is all about setting yourself up for reaching your health goals without compromising the delicious flavors and foods that you love. This egg bake is exactly that! This is a breakfast you’ll look forward to every morning.
Egg bakes are the perfect meal prep!
There’s no better meal prep for breakfast or lunch than an egg bake: they are simple to prepare, easy to cook (pop it in the oven and let it do it’s thing!), and store really well in the fridge for a few days. They also freeze perfectly, if you don’t plan on eating the portions right away. I love stocking my freezer with portions of meal prepped breakfast or lunch ideas, so that on the weeks where I don’t have the time to cook from scratch, I have healthy options on hand. If you plan on freezing an egg bake, simply wrap individual serving sizes in plastic wrap or pop them into a freezer bag. To defrost, put a portion in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the morning. Or, simply microwave to defrost. Egg bakes reheat really well in the toaster oven, microwave, conventional oven, or air fryer! You can’t beat it.

This was so good! Great for breakfast prep for the week.
Stupid question. Can you freeze this?
I freeze them cut individually in a gallon size bag after they cooled in fridge. they always come out a tad more ‘wet’ but after you defrost, microwave for a minute, then airfry on a piece of aluminum foil for 4-5mins at 370, it will help cut the wet out. Then I blot on paper towel too.
Subbed in white sharp cheddar cheese, soooo good
