Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese
  • 1 cup Liquid egg whites

Fillings

  • 8 slices Canadian bacon, diced
  • 1 cup Diced bella mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Diced cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup Arugula or leafy greens

Toppings

  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bowls and Oven: Lightly grease four 4-cup glass meal prep bowls and place them on a large baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Egg Base: Crack 2 eggs into each bowl. Add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of liquid egg whites to each. Whisk the mixture gently within each bowl to combine these ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Fillings: Evenly distribute the diced Canadian bacon, chopped bella mushrooms, diced cherry tomatoes, and arugula among the four bowls. This layering ensures each bowl has a balanced amount of fillings.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each prepared bowl. You can reduce this to 2-3 tablespoons if preferred for a lighter cheese topping.
  5. Bake the Frittatas: Place the baking sheet with the bowls in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the egg mixture is firm, slightly puffed, and lightly browned on top. Oven times may vary, so watch for doneness.
  6. Cool and Serve or Store: Allow the bowls to sit for a few minutes before eating. If planning to store for meal prep, cool the bowls for about 25 minutes before sealing with lids and placing them in the refrigerator.
  7. Reheat and Enjoy: When ready to eat, microwave each frittata bowl for approximately 90 seconds until heated through, then enjoy a convenient and nutritious breakfast.

Notes

  • You can substitute arugula with spinach or kale for different leafy greens.
  • Use reduced-fat mozzarella cheese to decrease fat content if desired.
  • The baking time may vary based on your oven’s temperature accuracy; check for a firm, puffed texture as an indicator of doneness.
  • These frittata bowls can be customized with your favorite vegetables or proteins.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
