Question 1

Can I bake the eggs instead of cooking them on the stovetop?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After sautéing the base, transfer it to an oven-safe skillet, make wells, crack in the eggs, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 7–10 minutes, depending on how you like your yolks.

Question 2

What if I don’t have sausage?

Accepted Answer

Use ground turkey, shredded rotisserie chicken, leftover steak, or even canned beans. Season well to replace the flavor sausage usually provides.

Question 3

What’s the best cheese to use?

Accepted Answer

Feta adds tang and keeps things bright, while cheddar or Monterey Jack melts beautifully for a creamy finish. Use what you enjoy or skip cheese altogether.

Question 4

Is this freezer-friendly?

Accepted Answer

The cooked eggs don’t freeze well, but the protein-and-veggie base does. Freeze the base for up to 2 months, thaw, reheat, and add fresh eggs.

Question 5

Do I need potatoes?

Accepted Answer

No. They add heartiness and carbs, but the dish works well without them. If skipping, add extra veggies or a side of toast for balance.
