I am so tired of cooking eggs... alternatives?

[Bouncer]

Here's another good one. Bake a quiche or an egg strata once in the week, then just nuke squares as you need'em.

Basic easy egg strata recipe that even a total dork in the kitchen can make taste good in less than 10 minutes of prep time:

Crumble a layer of whole grain bread into a baking pan. The chunks should be small-ish, about crouton size. If you're using stale bread, toss it in the food processor for a few seconds to break it up.

Throw in some tasty shit. Meat, veggies, cheese, cottage cheese, whatever. Open the fridge and see what's in there. Anything savory will do. Add spices to taste. Make sure everything you throw in is in fairly small chunks, just like the bread. The food processor is your friend. Stuff from a can is fine. Spinach, tomatoes, garlic and cottage cheese works very well. So does broccoli and nonfat cheddar cheese.

You may need to add more liquid to make things moist but not soggy. You can use milk, broth, or whatever. Drizzle it in a little at a time and stir things around. If you've used moist ingredients, like cottage cheese and tomatoes, you won't need any additional liquid and you may even want to drain it at this stage. You want the bread slightly damp but not soaking in liquid.

Dump beaten eggs, egg whites or egg substitute over this mess. Keep pouring until the liquid egg level is up to the solid level. You want a whole lot of egg in here as it's what holds the whole thing together. This is basically a great big egg cake with yummy shit stuck in the middle.

Bake at 325 to 350 until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Cut in squares, reheat and stick in your face in the morning when you don't have time to cook eggs.

sorry hannah, but that sounds like shit. lol. i would rather just eat eggs. good tips though, and who am i to talk, i was eating cottage cheese that had gone sour about a month ago. :P

It's basically a savory bread pudding, and the ones I make have never generated anything but good comments even when it's non-nutrition-conscious people doing the eating. Some fancy restaurants serve upscale versions of savory bread puddings (albeit with a lot more fat involved) and they get away with it even when they're charging stupid prices.

I eat boiled eggs. For some reason I can eat alot more at a time, plus there's the convenience of being able to cook 4 days worth at one time.

quiches can be made lean and clean. Boiled eggs are nice. I make up egg salad. It winter time and I need to gain mass and try staying on track with training.

Control, how do you eat boiled eggs? do you just eat them plain. i would love to just take a buncha eggs to work instead of a protein shake, but i cant just eat them plain.

Yeah, I just eat them plain. Sometimes I'll sprinkle a tiny amount of salt on them. Why can't you eat them plain? Have you tried coloring them with one of those egg-dying kits that kids use on easter?
