Baking Eggs

I am not a very good morning person, so I need quick and easy breakfasts. Before going gluten-free I would have something like the Lean Pocket breakfasts, or breakfast burrittos. I need to figure out a way to do an egg dish I can quickly heat and eat. I am thinking of doing a baked scrable egg kids of thing, but I'm not sure if I need to put anything in as a "binder" for the eggs. I was looking at quiche recipies but all are either in a crust or have flour in them. I know I can substitute, but I thought if I didn't have to, I would rather not. Anyone have any ideas? My thought was to bake them in muffin tins, and freeze. whatcha think? :huh:

Look for a frittata recipe. You'll want something with about a dozen eggs, some cooked vegetables, a big of cheese, and maybe a muffin liner of thinly sliced ham or turkey to substitute for the crust if you dislike browned eggs. You don't need a binder if the recipe doesn't use much milk/cream.

I enjoy them a lot and they freeze well.

I haven't made these for a very long time. I think I used 10 eggs, green onions, ham bits, cheese...and a metal pan. You can cut up/cook the meats/onions ahead of time and store in the freezer until ready to make the eggs. (mine were not as pretty as hers)

I love the idea of using lunch meat to line a muffin tin. Bacon cups would work. I'd make the bacon cups, drain well then put them into a paper cupcake liner and pour in the an egg mixture. There are lots of crustless gluten free quiche recipes online.

I know this wasn't exactly what you're asking for but I just hard boil a bunch of eggs to have on hand for easy breakfasts. I eat a hard boiled egg, a banana or apple and some yogurt most days.

My DD gets the credit for finding me a pic with purple in it. They are the original Tollhouse cookies in the pic. Here is a great recipe though:

I use sorghum, cornstarch and tapioca flours and add nuts sometimes.

(if you very careful place the chips/nuts on top of each cookie yours may look like the pic) (lol)

I put a fritta recipe on my recipe thread, https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/6981-as-promised-a-few-recipes/page__view__findpost__p__630392

You don't have to add anything to make scrambled eggs. I crack 'em into a pan (I use nonstick for eggs), and scramble them with a spatula as they cook. Takes three or four minutes. You can add leftover rice and frozen peas/carrots and gluten-free soy sauce to make fried rice. You can add frozen spinach to make it a more interesting scramble. You can add frozen potatoes o'brian for variety as well. Lots of things to adjust them to being quick and easy. (Why all the frozen veggies? 'Cause it's faster in the morning when you don't have time to dice and fully cook a potato, or to wash and chop a fresh head of spinach.)

you can hallow out some tomatoes (if you can eat them) scramble an egg with some s & p and pour it into the tomato topped with some low fat cheese. bake it while you get ready at 350 for 30 min. or less depending on your oven. :)

This isn't a frittata or something you can make ahead and freeze, but it's fast and nutritious. Like you, I always had a type of breakfast sandwich before going gluten-free. One day at the vet's, I noticed one of the techs eating a panini-type breakfast sandwich and I got this idea which is now what I eat almost every morning. I use Eggbeaters but you could use an egg if you want.

Put about 1/4 cup Eggbeaters or 1 beaten egg into a small bowl sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a piece of waxed paper and microwave on high for about 1:40, turning once half way through. Remove from oven and microwave 2 corn tortillas until hot, about 30 seconds, turning them over half way through.

Place a slice or two of ham or smoked turkey lunch meat on one of the tortillas. Put the cooked egg on and top with a slice of low-fat American cheese. Cover with the other tortilla and heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds until hot.

You can play around with this by using different meats, cheese and even gluten-free flour tortillas.

Cool Idea!! I just might have to try that, even if I don't use it for the egg muffins!!

OKAY I am really getting hungry with all this food talk :D I always forget about corn tortillas. I've always preferred flour ones, so I forget they are still an option. Thanks all...you've given me some great ideas and recipies (even the chocolate chip cookies!!! :lol: )

Here's something quiche-like and quick. Make it on Sunday and eat it all week.

Vegetables: I thaw frozen chopped spinach, but you can use any cooked veggies you have around.

Cheese: shredded swiss or cheddar or feta or whatever you want.

Meat: Bacon or ham if you have it and want it, if not leave it out.

Grease an 8x8 baking dish or a pie plate.

Spread the veggies evenly across the bottom.

If you have time and inclination, saute some onions or shallots or garlic or leeks and add these. Or just sprinkle with onion powder, etc, or ignore.

Distribute cheese and meat in any combination across the veggies according to your taste.

Beat 6 - 8 eggs with a glug of milk (probably 1/4 - 1/2 cup, I don't measure) and a little salt. Pour over everything else.

Bake at 375 for about 35 - 40 minutes. I will be somewhat browned on top and solid all the way through.

Let it cool, cover it with foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

In the morning, cut it in 4 - 6 pieces. Take out one, microwave, eat. Put the rest back. It will keep all week. I do this all the time and it really keeps me full all morning.

Another quicky I make at night and reheat in the morning is this:

In a 9x13 pan-spray with cooking spray

Dump in a bag of frozen potatoes o'brian, spread out

Beat 12 eggs

Pour over potatoes as evenly as possible

If you do dairy, sprinke shredded cheddar cheese on top

I like sliced tomatoes on top of that

Season with salt/pepper (I like Mrs. Dash)

Bake 375 till cheese is browning and eggs are totally set in the middle. (45min-1 hour)

Makes 6 good sized portions

If you have a little more time, the possibilies of add-ins are endless!!

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
