Request: High-protein snacks

[sonia]

I would like to have more high-protein snacks on hand, and the usual suggestions don't work for my digestive system (nuts, soy, dairy, beans). Does anyone have recipes to recommend? I'm thinking something like mini-frittatas made in muffin cups. Some kind of meatballs would be an option, but I'd prefer something that was less fuss to make. Thanks!

I did a quick search before posting and found this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/231480/muffin-pan-frittatas/ Looks reasonable, although I wouldn't put in milk or cheese. At least it gives me proportions and baking time.

I have been making the Hubster a "breakfast casserole" for quite a while that could be easily adaptable:

For an 8x8 pan, lined with foil and sprayed with baking oil:

5 eggs
a pack of browned chicken sausages (I use Applegate chicken & maple, which is 10 sausage links)
about 2 tbsp chopped onion

Brown the sausages and onion in a pan together. Slice the sausages when browned.
Whisk the eggs.
Add everything to the lined/oiled 8x8 baking pan. Bake at 425 for 23 (20-25, depending on your oven) minutes.
Slice into squares when cool.

He then puts the squares on tortillas, heats them, and adds salsa for breakfast. You could easily dice whatever veggies you want and add to the baking pan before you bake them.

That sounds easy, thanks! And I’ve bought those sausages before. I will try it out.
