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
  • 2 tablespoons finely crumbled, crispy bacon bits (pre-cooked)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Equipment

  • oven-safe bowls
  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Baking sheet
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Method
 

1. Prepare Your Baking Setup
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grab four oven-safe bowls, each with at least a 2-cup (16 oz) capacity. Thoroughly spray each bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange your prepared bowls on a baking sheet for easier handling.
2. Blend the Creamy Egg Base (and add the Twist!)
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the fat-free cottage cheese and large eggs. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and gently stir in the egg whites until everything is evenly combined.
  3. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of finely crumbled, crispy pre-cooked bacon bits and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
3. Assemble Your Bowls
  1. First, divide the roughly chopped baby spinach among the bottoms of your prepared bowls.
  2. Follow with the diced red bell pepper and the sliced turkey breakfast sausage.
  3. Lightly season these layers with a pinch of salt and your Flavor God Garlic Lover's Seasoning.
  4. Carefully divide your flavorful egg and cottage cheese mixture evenly among the four bowls.
  5. Top each with a generous sprinkle of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and the fresh chopped chives (or green onions).
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
  1. Carefully transfer your baking sheet with the filled bowls into the pre-heated oven.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes. Cover the bowls loosely with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking.
  3. When done, the eggs will puff up slightly in the middle, any initially runny egg mixture around the edges will have cooked through, and the cheese should be golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

For ultimate creaminess, blending the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth is crucial. Always pre-cook any raw meats. Bake in oven-safe glass containers for easy meal prep, and cover with foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent over-browning. Store cooled bowls in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for longer. Reheat in microwave, oven, or air fryer.
