Black Bean Egg Bake Recipe

Looking for a quick breakfast? This egg recipe is very easy to make and so satisfying to eat. It makes a great breakfast, brunch, or lunch. We made it for the first during Ramadan, and it was perfect for Suhur time when we don’t want to stir-up a mess in the kitchen at 3:30 am!

The recipe is high in protein. With 12 eggs and 1.5 cups beans, it makes 6 satisfying servings. As a garnish on the side, consider serving it with salsa or guacamole. The whole dish contains 3 cups of broccoli and cauliflower. That’s half a cup of vegetables per serving.

And if you’re still worried about eggs and cholesterol, stop! Research debunked that myth about eggs. Read my post here for details.

If you can’t tolerate beans, you can swap them with 1.5 cups shredded raw sweet potato or white potato.

Black Bean Egg Bake (Frittata)

This recipe is very similar to a frittata recipe I have posted before here. This time around, I wanted to reduce my active ‘engaged’ cooking time. Baking makes perfect sense. Just make sure you grease the baking dish well so they don’t stick to the bottom of the dish.

This recipe is part of my new upcoming book that is focused on detox and is gluten and dairy-free. Broccoli and cauliflower are super detoxification foods! There are reasons to try a dairy-free diet and I talk about them here. If you’re ok with dairy and like cheese, you can shred some aged cheddar or Mozzarella and add to the egg mix.

Low FODMAPs Recipe Modification

Swap black beans with 1.5 cups shredded raw sweet potato or white potato. Instead of broccoli and cauliflower, add 3 cups of low FODMAPs vegetables like spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. According to the Monash University low FODMAPs guide, 1/2 cup broccoli per serving is low in FODMAPs and should be safe. In other words, you can keep some broccoli to get the benefit of detox-boosting nutrients.

Nour’s guidance and expertise was the key to dramatically halting our son’s [Crohn’s] disease progression! His pediatric gastroenterologist is now in agreement of our choice to treat solely with diet and supplements. All his labs have improved and his inflammatory markers are so low they are practically nonexistent.

Before working with Nour, I experienced intestinal pain off and on for for 54 years with minimal success on medications. I have benefited 100% from Nour’s program as I am now pain free!

A lot of time and money was wasted on foods that I thought would help my digestive struggles [diarrhea, bloating, hunger], but in fact I was making it worse. The main benefit is getting a handle on what negatively affects my digestive symptom. Doing a total 180 to my eating habits has been pretty amazing.
