Description

Deliciously filling breakfast bowls made with sausage, eggs, and hash browns, perfect for meal prep throughout the week.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 3 oz crumbled feta or shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease six oven-safe small containers.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Brown and crumble the breakfast sausage until cooked through and spoon onto a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  3. In a blender or with a whisk, blend 8 eggs with 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Divide 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns evenly among the six containers as the bottom layer.
  5. Sprinkle the browned sausage over the hash browns in each container.
  6. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture evenly into the containers over the hash browns and sausage.
  7. Top each bowl with 1/2 ounce of your chosen cheese (3 oz total divided across six bowls).
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
  9. Enjoy immediately, or allow to cool completely before securing lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

For a spicier version, add hot sauce or salsa. Can be frozen for longer storage; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
