Ingredients
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, Greek yogurt, or half & half
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease muffin tins, glass meal prep containers, or a casserole dish.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, then stir in spinach until wilted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked sausage mixture.
- Divide the mixture evenly into prepared tins or dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until eggs are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool to room temperature before covering and storing for meal prep.
Notes
- Sautéing vegetables prevents sogginess and adds flavor.
- Use egg whites for a lighter version (2 whites = 1 whole egg).
- Avoid overbaking to keep eggs soft and fluffy.
- Make dairy-free with plant-based milk and vegan cheese.
- Serve with avocado, salsa, or toast for a complete breakfast.
