Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

1 1/2 cups egg whites (12 fl oz)
1 cup fat free cottage cheese (8 fl oz)
6 large eggs (300 grams)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning

Vegetables & Herbs

1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped (25 grams)
1/2 small red bell pepper, diced (75 grams)
2 tbsp chives or green onions, chopped

Meat & Cheese

8 links Applegate Naturals Savory Turkey Breakfast Sausages, sliced
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (40 grams)

Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare bowls: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray four oven-safe bowls, each holding at least 2 cups, with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the bowls on a baking sheet and set aside.
Blend egg and cottage cheese mixture: Combine the cottage cheese and whole eggs in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in the egg whites to create a uniform mixture and set aside.
Assemble ingredients in bowls: Place chopped spinach at the bottom of each prepared bowl, followed by diced red bell pepper and sliced turkey sausage. Season with salt and garlic seasoning. Evenly pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the ingredients in each bowl. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives on top.
Bake the egg bowls: Bake the bowls at 350°F for 40-45 minutes. Cover them with foil for the first 20 minutes to retain moisture. During baking, the eggs will puff up and the mixture might overflow slightly onto the edges of the bowls. Once the egg mixture is fully cooked and the cheese turns golden brown, the egg bowls are ready to serve.

Notes

Use oven-safe bowls with at least 2 cups capacity to ensure the egg mixture cooks evenly.
Covering with foil during the first 20 minutes prevents the egg from drying out.
These bowls can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, then reheated.
For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and cheddar with plant-based alternatives.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more herbs or spices if desired.
