Spiralized Apple and Brussels Sprouts Frittata

So I'm just going to get right to it - I know the combo sounds a bit odd. apples and Brussels sprouts? But I'm telling you it is just SO good! It's one of those you need to trust me until you try it, because it's life changing. I've been making this combo for a little while now, whether is a frittata, omelet, or scramble. But regardless, it's seriously F-ing delicious. I don't want to waste any more time - let's just get to the goods.

Here's What You'll Need:

-5 eggs, whisked
-15-20 Brussels sprouts, bottoms removed and either halved or quartered depending on size
-1 granny smith apple, spiralized (can be chopped or shredded as well)
-1/4 cup red onion, sliced
-2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
-1 tbsp ghee (or non-stick spray or coconut oil)
-Sea salt, black pepper, and any additional seasoning to taste (I LOVE this one, and you can used the code juststacy15 for 15% off)

Serves 2

Instructions:

1) In an oven-friendly pan, melt the ghee over medium high heat on the stove top. 
2) Once melted, spread the ghee all over the bottom and sides of the pan, and add in the Brussels sprouts and cook alone and covered for about 5 minutes.
3) Add in the red onion and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts really start to soften and brown a bit (about another 5 minutes).
4) Add in the spiralized apple and cook for 2-3 minutes until the apple just starts to soften a bit.
5) Spread out the veggies and apple mixture evenly in the pan, and sprinkle the parm over everything.
6) Mix your seasonings into your eggs, and pour the egg mixture evenly over your apple, veggie, and cheese mixture.
7) Cover the pan and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sides look cooked and start to come away from the pan a bit.
8) Once this occurs, remove the lid, and pop the entire pan into the oven on broil, cooking for about 5-8 minutes until the frittata is cooked through and a light golden brown on the top.
9) Remove the pan from the oven, flip or remove the frittata with a spatula onto a cutting board. Slice it in half, serve, and enjoy!

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Casserole with Immaculate Baking

I have been compensated by Immaculate Baking for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.

It’s official, we are in the midst of the holiday season! Thanksgiving was amazing, and now I have my sights set on Christmas and New Year’s. As the saying goes, it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I couldn’t agree more because, on the food front, it’s baking season!

I’m all about those baked goods, but between shopping for gifts, planning family time, and attending events and parties, it isn’t always easy to make it all from scratch. That’s why I’m super happy to have stumbled upon Immaculate Baking products at my local Whole Foods. Their mission is to create wholesome baking products, many of which are certified organic or gluten free. I found them right in the refrigerated food section, and they have it ALL covered. From cookies to pastries, they make baking this holiday season so delicious and easy! To check and see which Immaculate Baking products your local Whole Foods caries, you can head over to Immaculate Baking’s product locator at: https://www.immaculatebaking.com/product-locator/. 

I actually found them in two spots, in a refrigerated case on the floor with other holiday baking needs and near the refrigerated bars which is right by the milk.

I picked up a few of the Immaculate Baking Organic Flaky Biscuits. You can get a coupon to save $3 when you spend $10 through the Whole Foods app, so that worked out perfectly for what I had in mind. Each year I make a French toast casserole on Christmas morning, so I thought it would be fun to play around and use these delicious biscuits to kick that breakfast idea up a notch.

It's super easy to throw together, and you can just pop it in the oven and continue doing whatever else you need while it bakes. And after giving it a try with the flaky biscuits, I’m pretty sure there’s no going back. The biscuits were the star of the show! They’re so delicious and fluffy and the perfect complement to the sweetness of the rest of the French toast casserole. My entire family agrees that this is the new tradition!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

-4 eggs
-1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choosing)
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 tsp nutmeg
-1 pink lady apple, sliced
-1 container of 8 Immaculate Baking Organic Flaky Biscuits

Instructions:

1) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2) Remove the biscuits from the packaging, and cut each into 4 quarters.
3) Place the biscuit pieces in a greased 8x8 baking dish.
4) Places the apple slices randomly between the biscuit pieces.
5) In a bowl, mix together the almond milk, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
6) Pour the egg mixture over the biscuits and apples.
7) Bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top and the casserole is cooked through.
8) Slice, serve, and enjoy!

I topped my slice with some chopped walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup, but the options are endless. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
