Description
These meal prep breakfast eggs are a game-changer for busy mornings. Packed with protein, veggies and cheesy goodness, they can be baked in a muffin pan for easy grab-and-go bites or in a casserole dish for a hearty, sliceable option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- ½ pound ground sausage or chopped bacon
- ½ small onion (chopped)
- ½ bell pepper (chopped)
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh spinach
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup cottage cheese or Greek Yogurt or half & half
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon each garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Heat oil in a large heavy duty pan to medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes then add in the chopped spinach and sauté for another few seconds or until it begins to wilt.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and seasoning. Add the cooked sausage mixture and top with the whisk until combined.
- Grease 4 small glass oven safe meal prep containers, muffins tins, or into a large casserole dish and divide the mixture into them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and eggs are set.
- Cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate for meal prep for up to 5 days. To reheat, simply place in the microwave for 35-45 seconds on high or until warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- Can substitute sausage with turkey or plant-based protein.
- Experiment with different vegetables based on your preference.
