Amazon Fresh Weekend Lunch: The Savory SNAP-to-Table Bean & Egg Bake 🍳

This "dump-and-bake" style lunch is inspired by the convenience of grocery delivery and the nutritional requirements. It’s high in protein 💪, budget-friendly 💰, and uses staples you likely already have in your pantry. 

The Ingredients 🛒  (Note: SNAP & WIC Friendly Categories):

·       1 dozen Large Eggs (WIC Category: Eggs) 🥚

·       1 can (15 oz) Black Beans or Pinto Beans, rinsed and drained (WIC Category: Canned Beans)

·       1 cup Shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese (WIC Category: Cheese) 🧀

·       1 cup 1% or Fat-Free Milk (WIC Category: Milk)

·       2 cups Fresh Spinach or 1 cup Diced Bell Peppers (WIC Category: Fresh Produce) 🥬

·       Optional: Whole wheat tortillas or brown rice for serving (WIC Category: Whole Grains) 🍚

·       Pantry Staples: Salt, pepper, and a dash of garlic powder or cumin.

 Instructions:

1.     Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little bit of butter or non-stick spray. 🔥

2.     Layer the Base: Spread your drained beans and chopped vegetables (spinach or peppers) evenly across the bottom of the dish.

3.     Whisk the Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, the milk, and your seasonings until well combined. 🥣

4.     Assemble: Pour the egg mixture over the beans and veggies. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

5.     Bake: Place in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. ⏱️

6.     Serve: Slice into squares. This is delicious on its own, rolled into a whole wheat tortilla for a lunch burrito, or served over a scoop of brown rice. 🍽️
