Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup diced cooked potatoes (or frozen hash browns)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
- 1 cup cooked protein (optional: turkey sausage, chicken, or tofu)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Dice the vegetables and cook the protein (if using). Set aside.
-
Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Sauté until tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Heat the remaining olive oil or butter in the skillet over low heat. Add the eggs and cook gently, stirring constantly, until scrambled and just set.
-
Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and protein into individual microwave-safe containers or bowls.
-
Freeze the Bowls:
- Let the bowls cool completely. Seal tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
-
Reheat and Serve:
- To reheat, microwave a bowl for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through. Serve as is or with a side of salsa or avocado for extra flavor.
Notes
- Values may vary depending on specific ingredients, such as the type of cheese, protein, or cooking oil used.
- Using low-fat cheese or omitting the optional protein can reduce fat and calorie content.
- Adding more vegetables like spinach or kale can increase fiber and vitamin content.
