Tips for the Perfect Cheesy Veggie Egg Bowl
When making veggie egg bowls, make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly for a really fluffy egg texture after baking these.
If you want the veggies soft, you might want to saute them before putting them in the mixture. This recipe is written to give a tender crisp texture.
Make sure to spray the bowls before adding the ingredients to the veggie egg bowl, otherwise the eggs will stick to the glass.
You can always add more spices to the cheesy veggie egg bowl mixture. Try things you like, such as garlic powder, paprika, or maybe some Italian seasoning.
Meal Prep and Storage Tips for Cheesy Veggie Egg Bowls

Store leftovers in air tight containers, easiest is to bake them in the same dishes and then let cool. I prefer these glass ones.
To warm these up, microwave them for a few seconds and then stir. You can also reheat in the oven or a frying pan depending on your preference for heating and for texture when you go to eat it.
When first baking these cheesy veggie egg bowls, you might want to undercook them just a bit if you are reheating. This will keep them light and fluffy when you reheat them to eat them.
These bowls are perfect for meal prep and are a quick protein packed lunch, breakfast, or snack depending on your needs.
