Cheesy Black Bean Egg Bake with Salsa Verde

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. 2

    In a medium pot sauté the 4 cups fresh spinach until wilted {this takes about 2-3 minutes}. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl beat together the 8 eggs. Add in the salsa verde and a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk together.

  4. 4

    Spray an 8 1/2 x 12 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the black beans on the bottom of the dish and then top with the spinach, and sprinkle the green onions and cilantro.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the cheese over the spinach and black beans and slowly pour the egg mixture over top of everything. Use a fork to gently mix the eggs until everything is combine.

  6. 6

    Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the egg mixture is settled and starts to become golden brown on top. Let sit for 10 minutes and then cut into squares.

  7. 7

    Serve warm with your favorite garnishes like salsa, sour cream, fresh cilantro and extra cheese.

Notes

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in individual squares so that you can grab it on the go, throw it in the microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes to warm through. Feel free to use your favorite cheese in this recipe. I think pepper jack would work great for extra spice.
