Easy meals for dinner, or any time of the day!

This easy healthy dinner recipe can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and it’s a great way to get more vegetables into your diet.

Australian dietary guidelines recommend at least five serves of veg and legumes or beans a day, and these Spanish baked eggs have got the lot. You can dial the Mexican spice mix up or down to suit your taste buds, and experiment with different grated vegetables.

Eggs are known as nature’s original superfood. Packed with protein, eggs are a natural source of nutrition that includes omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamins A, D, E, and B12, antioxidants, folate, riboflavin, and selenium.

If you’re looking for healthy foods that can help you lose weight, these Spanish baked eggs are a great option. They’re low in calories, high in fibre, and your gut will love the variety of plant-based foods.
