Bed & Breakfast Egg bake + Kicked up Ramen

Bed & Breakfast Egg bake + Kicked up Ramen

Yesterday I was thinking about all the wonderful things you eat when you stay at a bed and breakfast. I thought, why can’t I pretend I’m staying at a B&B? So, I decided to look up some bed and breakfast recipes to see what I could make that would be deluxe, but I could make it healthier. I went to www.bedandbreakfast.com and they had thousands of bed and breakfast recipes! This Bed & Breakfast Egg bake sounded awesome!

After looking at a bunch of recipes, one popped out at me. It was an individual breakfast bake made in a ramekin.

I used:

1 small potato, sliced
1/2 chicken pesto bratwurst, sliced (from Trader Joe’s)
1 oz. cheddar cheese
1 egg + 2 egg whites
salt and pepper to taste

I sliced a raw potato, put it in a microwave dish and covered it with water and cooked it on the baked potato setting on my microwave

Next, I took a ramekin, sprayed it with cooking spray. I took a few of the cooked potatoes and put them on the bottom, then a few of the slices of chicken pesto bratwurst, then some cheese, and kept making layers until I was out of ingredients. (Save some cheese for the top)

In a separate dish, add 1 egg + 2 egg whites + 1 TB. water and scramble it all up. Pour over the top of the ramekin. Add the remaining cheese on top. I baked this for about 20 minutes at 375. You will know when its done because the eggs will be set.

This whole dish was 350 calories!!

The next thing I made for lunch today was kicked up Ramen Noodles!

Instead of using the spice packet that comes with it, I decided to use 1/2 the block of ramen noodles, with 3 cups of chicken broth. Did you know 3 cups of chicken broth is only 15 calories??

So in a pot, I added chopped garlic, red onion, the chicken broth, handful of shredded carrots, a handful of broccoli slaw, sugar snap peas, 3 leftover pot stickers, and 1 TB. of Saigon Sizzle stir fry sauce.

I brought that up to a boil, then added the ramen noodles, and simmered that for a few minutes until the noodles were cooked. AMAZING!

This HUGE pot is only 300 calories!! And a great way to get in a ton of veggies! I can’t wait for lunch!

  • Both of those sound great!! I love baked egg dishes but haven’t had one in a LONG time!

  • I’d be looking for lunch as well! I can’t remember the last time I had a great egg dish like that. And I’m obsessed with ramen haha, so here’s a way to make it healthy! Woo-hoo! Thanks!

  • Love the breakfast bake – that’s my kind of breakfast!

    Soups are a great way to pack in a lot of food for little calories – my mom eats soups everyday when she’s watching her weight.

  • what a great idea, bringing the b&b home!!! I love the omelettes they make at b&b and also the abundant fruit platters!
    veggies rock! you can eat so much for so few calories!!!

  • Those Pesto Bratwursts sound delicious!

    This dish looks and sounds terrific!

    Thanks for stopping by today!

  • Wow!! I looove the b&b recipe because i recently came back from my trip to a b&b and they had the BEST baked omelete ever, which i totally recreated as well. Great minds think alike huh?!?!? Thank you for sharing the website cuz I’m definitely gonna check that out now. 🙂

  • omg…that egg dish looks delish! I could probably eat 3 bowls of those. YUM!
    and mm….how can you say no to ramen? I used to crunch on it uncooked like crackers when I was young. Now I try to abstain from them, but once in a while, it is pure indulgence.

  • I could really go for that breakfast bake. I made a vegetarian version once only to realize I did not have enough ramekins for the group so I just combined everybody’s and made it in a 9×13 pan.

  • I see these individual baked eggs and wonder why I forget to make one for myself. They are so yummy. I like your version of kicked up Ramen. I don’t usually like the flavor packets and all their MSG glory. So your alternative is great!

  • Great idea! Sounds like the perfect and simple breakfast dish. Unfortunately the B&B I have stayed in serve fruits and pastries nothing ever cool.

  • This is totally off point, but bedandbreakfast.com is downstairs in our building. Cool office.
