If you are like me, your day is better when you start it with a hot breakfast. Egg bowls are my favorite way to do this these days. Not only are they warm and cozy for a cold morning, but you can put a ton of protein into them with a lot of variety!
These are also great because you can meal prep the days in advance and they all take about 20-25 minutes from the start of prep to pulling them out of the oven.
Eggs and cottage cheese are some of the most affordable high-protein ingredients. Using canned or jarred artichokes and frozen spinach helps keep costs down while still packing in flavor.Â

If you want to add some flavor and another step to your meal prep you can saute the spinach and artichoke hearts before adding them to the egg bowl. It will really deepen the flavor to make the bowls even more delicious.
Using freshly grated mozzarella will result in the creamiest texture but shredded mozzarella is also a great choice and keeps well in the fridge.
Make sure to mix all the ingredients well in your glass baking dishes to make sure the egg is coating everything. They are really what hold the egg bowl together.
Cook the eggs until they are the texture you want. The time and oven temp listed are a great starting point, but everyone has their own personal preference for egg texture so check in on them and add time as needed.
Make sure to squeeze out the extra moisture from the spinach especially if you are using frozen spinach. If you forget this step the egg bowl might not set up well.
Meal Prep and Storage Tips for Spinach and Artichoke Egg Bowls
Making these in individual glass containers is great way to count your macros if you are into that. It is also a great way to make sure they are able to stay fresh in the fridge because you can put an airtight lid on them.
Reheat these babies in a microwave or even the oven. Add time as needed until it is hot enough for your liking. Don’t forget that when you are reheating them, especially in the microwave, they will continue to cook.
