Receta Spinach and Harvarti Egg Bake
I associated each season with some staple ingredients and meals. For spring, I always love using eggs, lemon, and anything green. It’s that rebirth of green outside and the good things to come. Light and airy foods with fresh ingredients that differ so much from the hardy meals of winter. I love making quiches, egg bakes, and frittatas in spring because there are usually a fair share of social gatherings that they are perfect for; Easter, Mother’s Day, Bridal showers, etc.
This egg bake is a favorite because it’s a great way to get some nutrients in while still enjoying something a little decadent and cheesy! You can use any cheese you like, but I enjoy the havarti for it’s buttery taste and melt factor.
