Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups egg whites (liquid from carton recommended)
– 6 large eggs (replaceable with 1 1/2 cups egg whites for all-whites version)
– 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese (any fat content acceptable)
– 8 links fully cooked turkey breakfast sausage (frozen; substitute with pre-cooked bacon or crumbled sausage)
– 1 cup baby spinach (roughly chopped, optional)
– 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (alternatives like Gouda permissible)
– 1/2 small red bell pepper (diced, optional)
– 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic seasoning or similar spice
Instructions
1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray four oven-safe bowls with at least 2-cup capacity with non-stick spray and arrange them on a baking sheet. In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth, then stir in egg whites until evenly mixed.
2-Distribute and season: Distribute chopped spinach evenly among the bowl bottoms, followed by bell pepper and sausage links. Sprinkle salt and garlic seasoning over each bowl. Pour the egg-cottage cheese mixture evenly into the bowls, then top each with shredded cheese and chives.
3-Bake: Cover the bowls with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 25 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is golden-brown. This step-by-step approach ensures your high protein breakfast bowls turn out perfectly every time, with minimal fuss.

🔄 Blending cottage cheese with eggs creates a creamy texture and eliminates graininess.
🍲 Substitute a single casserole dish for individual bowls; increase bake time by 15-20 minutes.
❄️ Reheat covered in microwave for about 1 minute. Store refrigerated up to 1 week; not recommended to freeze due to texture changes.
