This recipe is so yummy and easy! Although I am not a baked egg fan, I really wanted something easy to grab this week. The eggs are perfect, and the flavor is insane. I recommend giving the onions the time to caramenlize–it is worth it in flavor. I am so happy I gave it a try because I will switch out the sausage to ground turkey to align with my macros a bit more, but dannnnng, they are delicious as is.
So true about the caramelized onion flavor! So glad you loved them!
