Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites (12 fl oz)
  • 1 cup fat free cottage cheese (8 fl oz)
  • 8 links Applegate Naturals Savory Turkey Breakfast Sausages, sliced
  • 6 large eggs (300 grams)
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped (25 grams)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (40 grams)
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper, diced (75 grams)
  • 2 tbsp chives or green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover's Seasoning

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Spray 4 oven safe bowls (at least 2 cup capacity) with non-stick cooking spray and arrange on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Add cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in egg whites until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • Add spinach to the bottom of the prepared bowls, then top with bell pepper and sausage. Season with salt and garlic seasoning, then divide the egg and cottage cheese mixture evenly among the 4 bowls. Top with cheese and chives.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, covered with foil for the first 20 minutes. While baking, the eggs will puff up in the middle and runny egg mixture will ooze up the sides of the bowls onto the edges of the already baked eggs - once that mixture is cooked and the cheese is golden brown, the eggs are done.

Notes

Storage: Store in air tight containers in the refrigerator. I eat them for up to a week after baking, but are best within 4-5 days. See my notes on food freshness/safety here.
Reheating: Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
