High Protein Egg Casserole

🍳 In my 10x Stronger Program, our first goal is to get at least 30g of protein at breakfast. Two pieces of this gives you 34g. 💪🏻
The recipe is inspired from Starbucks’ egg bites but put in this easy-to-make casserole that my whole family likes! I make it at least once a week.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 large eggs

  • 12oz of ground breakfast sausage (I use Beeler’s)

  • 1 cup shredded cheese

  • 1 16oz container of cottage cheese (I use Horizon Organic 4% milkfat cottage cheese)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a standard 9x13 pyrex dish.

  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet and drain the fat. 

  3. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the pyrex.

  4. Sprinkle the cheese over the layer of sausage.

  5. Blend together the eggs and cottage cheese in a blender. Pour over the sausage/cheese layer. 

  6. Cook at 350 for approximately 45 minutes (or until the middle is firm).

  7. Let cool and cut into 12 equal pieces. 

    You can add in veggies like cooked broccoli or spinach or even a can of diced green chiles for a little zing!!
