When mixing the bowls up make sure to whip the eggs well to make sure they are very fluffy. I usually mix everything all in the bowl I am going to bake them in, but if you preferr a fluffier texture mix it in a seperate bowl and then pour in.
These spinach and tomato egg bowls can be basically a one dish meal prep. All you need to do is use the bowl you are going to bake the egg bowls in (make sure it is glass like this one), and you will have miniaml dishes and minimal clean up.
To give a more cooked texture and different flavor you could saute the spinach and eggs before putting it in the bowl. This makes more dishes though so its totally up to you and your flavor preferences.
Using a low-fat cottage cheese or just the egg whites will lower the fat content in the bowls. This is again totally up to you as the yolks of the eggs add so much flavor.
Lastly, to really top off the perfect spinach and tomato egg bowl, you can sprinkle it with some feta cheese or grated parmesan for an extra pop of flavor.
Meal Prep and Storage Tips for Spinach and Tomato Egg Bowl
Cook these in batches. I pick a night a week (usually Sunday) to meal prep these and I only make 4 at a time. This is because food looses it’s appeal to me after this many days so you can freshen up your weekly routine mid week. 4 days is also the reccommended amount of days to keep leftovers in the fridge.
These egg bowls will last the whole 4 days in the fridge without loosing quality, making them a perfect breakfast prep for your week.
To add a little extra bunch and variety throughout your spinach and tomato egg bowl meal prep, you can easily add some hot sauce, feta, or balsamic glaze/vinegar to change up the bowls as the week progresses.
