Looking to jazz up your boring eggs? Add some spinach and cheese and you got easy eggs Rockefeller!
Here’s a fun and easy twist on a classic: Eggs Rockefeller—inspired by Oysters Rockefeller but made with ingredients you probably already have.
It’s rich, savory, and surprisingly flexible if you want to lighten it up!
What Is Eggs Rockefeller?
Think of it like a cross between a baked egg dish and a savory spinach dip—typically made with eggs, spinach or greens, and a creamy base. It’s often served in ramekins, muffin tins, or even spooned into hollowed-out bread or veggie cups.
The classic version is decadent, but it’s super easy to tweak into something healthier without giving up flavor.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
- Use Egg Whites or a Mix: Sub in egg whites for part (or all) of the whole eggs to cut cholesterol and fat, especially if you’re adding cheese or bacon.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Instead of cream or heavy cheese, mix in low-fat cottage cheese. It adds creaminess, protein, and just enough tang.
- Bacon Bits for a Boost: A sprinkle of real bacon bits gives you the smoky flavor without needing to fry up strips. Turkey bacon bits or veggie versions work too.
- Greens Galore: Spinach is traditional, but you can also use kale, Swiss chard, or even arugula. Sauté lightly before adding so they don’t water down the dish.
- Season Smart: A pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper can go a long way. You don’t need much salt if you’re using bacon or cheese.
- Bake in Muffin Tins: Grease the cups, fill with your egg mix and greens, then bake at 350°F for about 15–18 minutes until set. Perfect for meal prep too.
