Individual Egg & Spinach Bowls

These individual egg & spinach bowls really take the guesswork out of portion control! Each perfectly portioned serving provides focused nutrition, fueling you with what you need to start your day off right. They’re also super easy to prep, making it easier to cope with busy mornings. You can bake them on the weekend and have breakfast ready to grab-and-go all week long.

We use individual ramekins when making these individual egg & spinach bowls for that very reason – because they’re easy to store in the fridge. But, we’ve had a lot of great feedback from people telling us they are using muffin tins, instead. We love it when you innovate to make our recipes work for your busy lifestyle! It’s always great to hear your feedback about what works and what doesn’t, too.

The other great thing about these individual egg & spinach bowls? They’re versatile enough to suit your individual taste buds. You can easily customize your bowl by swapping out the spinach for kale (or, choose another one of your favorite leafy greens). The feta cheese provides a really nice punch of salty flavor, but you could certainly choose any fat-free cheese if you prefer (like cheddar or pepper jack). Finally, when tomatoes aren’t in season, you could definitely use sun-dried tomatoes instead.

A Quick Note about Egg Whites

This recipe calls for a lot of egg whites and one whole egg. We like using a lot of egg whites to keep the fat content low, but it’s also good to incorporate some egg yolks in the mix. You see, almost all of the protein is found in the egg white, while the yolk is higher in cholesterol and fat. There are certainly benefits to eating yolks because they’re also rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

You might be asking what you should do with all those leftover yolks from the eight eggs! You could save them to make aioli, make our favorite hollandaise sauce, or sub in a few extra yolks for our classic lemon bar recipe. If you don’t want to bother with figuring out what to do with the yolks, you can also purchase a carton of egg whites from the store. In our experience, the organic brands tend to act the most like freshly separated egg whites when baking.

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’

Restaurant Workers Are Combing Through Job Listings — But They’re Not Applying

Photo by Dominic Lipinski/PA Images via Getty Images Culinary Agents CEO Alice Cheng on the restaurant worker shortage and how workers will return to the industry ‘on their timeframe’ As restaurants across the country expand capacity, reopen for indoor dining, and prepare for a new season of outdoor service, owners are struggling to find staff to meet their needs. Many workers still don’t feel safe returning to work during a pandemic. Others don’t want to fight with patrons over health and safety guidelines. Some may have left town or joined another industry while they were laid off and will return when the timing and opportunity are right. Alice Cheng, CEO of hospitality industry job search engine Culinary Agents , has a macro view of the hiring trends across various cities and states and is a careful observer of candidate behavior. “A lot of the data that we see is there’s so many people looking at jobs, more so than in the past, and they’re waiting,” Cheng told Eater’s Digest
