Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
  2. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add ground sausage or chopped bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender, then toss in the fresh spinach until wilted.
  4. Crack 8 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Fold the sautéed mixture into the egg batter using a spatula.
  6. Prepare meal prep containers or greased muffin tins. Pour the egg mixture into each container three-quarters full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in containers for a few minutes, then transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
