Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls

Compact, protein-packed breakfast bowls featuring crispy hash browns, savory breakfast sausage, and a silky egg-and-cottage-cheese bake, perfect for hectic mornings.

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 and lightly grease six oven-safe containers.
  2. Brown the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no pink remains, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  3. In a blender or bowl, combine eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper; blend until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Divide the frozen shredded hash browns evenly among the six containers for a bottom layer.
  5. Evenly distribute the browned sausage over the hash brown layer in each container.
  6. Pour the egg-and-cottage-cheese mixture evenly into the containers, filling them to just below the rim.
  7. Top each bowl with about 1/2 ounce of your chosen cheese (feta or cheddar).
  8. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days, reheating as needed.

Notes

Cottage cheese can be swapped with Greek yogurt for a different flavor profile. Feta adds briny notes, while cheddar offers a classic taste.
