What’s one meal time you struggle with the most? Is it breakfast, lunch, or dinner? I will confess, our breakfast these days are SUPER rushed and I’m usually just standing in the kitchen eating really fast or drinking a smoothie. Baking is not really involved, unless is it’s the weekend and I am making baked Swedish pancakes for pancake Sunday. Eggs are usually saved for weekend or dinner too. And  baked egg boats?  Well, I’ve only experienced these amazing creations once at a brunch, but I digress….. more on that later.
Healthy and gluten free Vegetable Stuffed Baked Egg Boats! For breakfast, brunch or dinner! These veggie packed baked egg boats are super easy, super healthy, and a tasty vegetarian meal that everyone enjoys!

Anyway, I know what you’re thinking.   At least we’re eating breakfast. At least we can can cram just about any veggie or protein into a smoothie.  But I still feel like something needs to change in that area.

Why is it that BREAKING the FAST seems to get too FAST? Hmmmm….

My goal for this next year is to BREAK the FAST more slowly and with real food. Food you can sit and chew! Even if it’s just quick to make. Even it’s just 2-3x a week. Basically, taking the tiny bit of extra TIME to make a meal that’s balanced, protein packed, full of wholesome ingredients, nutrient dense, and CHEWABLE

I’ll give you my reasoning behind this. It’s called rest and digest. And I’ve been far from both at meal time.

Rest and digest means you allow your parasympathetic nervous system to settle down and do it’s thing.

Here..

Parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.

In other words… REST and DIGEST  allows for proper digestion, proper muscle recovery, proper nutrient absorption.

I don’t know about you, but that’s one thing I DEFINITELY need more of in the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

Okay, so now let’s talk about these stuffed brussel sprout baked egg boats. A healthy (quick) baked egg breakfast that’s packed with veggies, protein, healthy fats, and yes… YOU CAN CHEW IT!

All you do is scoop out the middle of the bread.

Add a little buttah… oh ya, buttah! Next, fill it will veggies, an egg yolk, parmesan, garlic, spices, etc.

Then bake for 15 minutes!

But more importantly, since this meal takes less than 20 minutes to make, you can sit around the table the family and enjoy it. Rest and digest a healthy gluten free breakfast or brunch!

These veggie packed baked egg boats are also great for a vegetarian recovery meal. So maybe you’re an early morning workout goer. Just think about how amazing this would be for post workout meal/breakfast. You’ve done the hard part, now take that time to allow the body to really digest and absorb all those amazing nutrients from the eggs, brussel sprouts, and healthy gluten free carbs.

Bonus Nutrients–>

  • Eggs are packed with choline (good for the liver), selenium (immunity boosting), and a naturally a good source of vitamin D! Yes, we need that ALL THOSE during winter months.
  • Brussel Sprouts – Fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K
  • Shallots-  More nutrients dense than onions! Plus they actually contain a good source of iron and anti-oxidants such as quercetin. (remember how much WE LOVE QUERCETIN in grapes?)
  • Udis Gluten Free Baguette – Non GMO whole grain that’s easier to digest and Celiac friendly.

Description

Healthy and gluten free Vegetable Stuffed Baked Egg Boats! For breakfast, brunch or dinner! These veggie packed baked egg boats are super easy, super healthy, and a tasty vegetarian meal that everyone enjoys!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 twelve inch gluten free baguette (or 1 1/2 twenty four inch baguettes)
  • Butter
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup brussel sprouts shavings
  • 1 shallot (diced)
  • 1/3 cup parmesan (shredded or crumbles)
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Black pepper and sea salt to taste
  • Optional tabasco and/or chili pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F
  2. Grease or oil a large baking dish and set aside.
  3. Next sliced your baguette vertically. Cut in half so that you have 6 six in baguette halves.
  4. Scoop out a small section of the middle of each. Big enough to fit egg and veggies.
  5. Add 1 tsp butter to each baguette middle. Spread evenly.
  6. Place baguette halves in oiled baking dish.
  7. Fill eggs with 2 tbsp or more of shaved brussel sprouts. Still leave a small hole for the egg.
  8. Gently place your egg yolk in the center hole of each baguette.
  9. NOTE –> You will have to probably remove most of the egg white prior so it’s not runny.
  10. Add diced shallot of top of each. 1-2 tbsp on each.
  11. Evenly sprinkle your parmesan, garlic salt, pepper, and sea salt over each baguette.
  12. drizzle olive oil on top of all quickly. A little goes a long way.
  13. Bake for 15 minutes.
  14. If you want eggs more runny, check at 14 to 15 minutes. If you want them more hard boiled and crispier bread, bake a little longer.
  15. Remove and season with chili pepper or top with tabasco.
  16. Enjoy!

Notes

NOTE –> You will have to probably remove most of the egg white prior so it’s not runny.

You can use any veggie but shredded works best!
If you want eggs more runny, check at 13 or 14 minutes. If you want them more hard boiled and crispier bread, bake a little longer.

    Any recipe that ditches the white and embraces the yolk is one I can totally get down with.

    I also love the Brussels Sprouts and butter and that you combined them all in a delicious baguette. Brilliant.

    Similar to you, I often don’t have time to make breakfast. In fact, I eat pretty much the same thing from Monday-Friday (overnight oats with some fruit). It’s not until the weekend that I can enjoy a nice savoury breakfast. Even then, sometimes I feel like making something quick and easy and this is perfect for that!

    I love this! It looks scrummy and I always struggle at breakfast especially because I end up having to make my husband something different from me. This however, I can just swap out the bread – perfect.

    Swoon. Breakfast is usually the only meal I really sit down and slow down for, mostly because I eat it super early before the craziness of the day has a chance to settle in. My lunch and dinner could use some work, though 😆

I love slow mornings with a tasty breakfast and cup of coffee. I have some new work changes in 2016 and I’m hoping I’ll be able to take the mornings a little more slowly 🙂
