If you thought egg bakes were just the tired go-to for weekend brunches, think again. Meet the Sun-Dried Tomato Egg & Stracciatella Bake — a vibrant, flavor-packed, and guilt-free dish that’s about to become your new favorite way to wake up. It's like your classic egg casserole got a vitamin boost from the Mediterranean and a creamy twist from heavenly stracciatella cheese.

Why This Bake Rocks Your Healthy Brunch World

First off, this isn’t your average egg dish. Sun-dried tomatoes bring a punch of concentrated umami and tang, amping up the flavor without the need for crazy amounts of salt or butter. They’re practically flavor bombs disguised as innocent little tomatoes.

It melts into ooey-gooey pockets of pure bliss, making this bake irresistibly gooey, without needing to drown the dish in heavy cream or cheese overload.

And let’s talk eggs. Protein-packed and versatile, eggs keep you fueled for hours while staying light enough that you don’t end the meal feeling like you just ate a brick…
