💬 FAQs
Can I make this vegetable egg bake ahead of time?
Yes — it’s built for it. Bake it, let it cool, then store portions in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week and reheat as you go.
Can I freeze egg bake?
Absolutely. Wrap cooled squares individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or reheat from frozen until warmed through.
What vegetables work best?
Sturdier vegetables like sweet potato, eggplant, and kale hold up especially well, but zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, and broccoli are all great. Avoid very watery vegetables unless you cook off the excess moisture first.
Is this egg bake dairy-free and paleo?
Yes. It’s made with ghee and contains no milk or cheese, so it’s dairy-free, grain-free, and paleo-friendly as written.
How do I know when it’s done?
It’s ready when the center is set and no longer jiggly and the edges are lightly golden. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.
