Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (turkey sausage works great for higher protein)
• 8 eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
• 3 oz crumbled feta or shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease six small oven‑safe containers (glass meal prep containers work well).
Brown and crumble the breakfast sausage on the stovetop, then drain any excess fat.
In a bowl, blend the eggs with the cottage cheese, salt and pepper until smooth.
Divide the hash browns and cooked sausage evenly among the containers.
Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns and sausage in each container.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta or shredded cheese on top.
Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, until the eggs are set.
Let cool before placing lids on the containers, then refrigerate.
