Description
If you are looking for a meal-prep breakfast that actually keeps you full until lunch, these High-Protein Egg & Hashbrown Breakfast Bowls are a game changer. By combining liquid egg whites, whole eggs, and blended cottage cheese, we create a massive amount of protein without the heavy feel of a traditional crust-based quiche.
Ingredients
The Base & Protein
- 5 cups frozen hashbrowns (cubed or shredded)
- 10 oz ground turkey breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
The Veggie Sauté
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 small bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 oz baby spinach
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
The High-Protein Egg Base
- 2 1/2 cups liquid egg whites
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons almond flour (or coconut/all-purpose)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
The Cheese
- 1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange five 4-cup oven-safe glass containers on a large baking sheet and lightly grease with spray.
Layer: Distribute the frozen hashbrowns evenly among the containers (about 1 cup each). Top each with a layer of the cooked turkey sausage.
Sauté Veggies: Heat oil in a skillet. Sauté onion, bell pepper, garlic, and seasonings. Stir in spinach until wilted.
Blend Eggs: In a blender, combine egg whites, whole eggs, cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and velvety.
Combine & Assemble: Pour the egg mixture into a bowl. Stir in mozzarella and veggies. Pour evenly over the hashbrowns and sausage. Sprinkle Parmesan on top.
Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes until the centers are set.
Cool & Store: Allow to cool completely before snapping the lids on.
Notes
The Blender Step: Blending cottage cheese transforms the texture to velvety, giving a soufflé-like finish.
Container Safety: Ensure glass containers are labeled ‘oven-safe.’
Reheating: Microwave for 2–3 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 5 minutes.
