Tips for the Perfect Egg Protein Bowl
Whip your eggs up well so they give the bowl the most fluffy texture when you bake them. You can also add milk or water to the eggs when you stir them in so are even fluffier.
To make the vegetables more flavorful you can saute them peppers and onions before adding them to the bowl. This will also give them a softer texture, so be aware of this if you are meal prepping them and going to reheat.
These bowls are very high in protein. If you use chicken sausage links they are a healthier option than a pork sausage as they have less fat.

You can batch cook these bowls (we usually make multiple bowls on Sunday night) to be able to grab them and quickly reheat them in the mornings when you have a busy work week. Just bake until the eggs are set to your liking, cool completely and then store in the fridge until you are ready to eat them. These are my favorite glass meal prep dishes, you can bake the egg protein bowls in them, store them in the fridge, and also reheat all in the same container!
You can store the egg protein bowl after it is baked in the fridge for up to 4 days. Making it easy to meal prep and be prepared for the week.
When you are ready to eat these bowls, just reheat in the microwave or oven for a few minutes. If using the microwave keep an eye on them because they might over cook.
