Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large Eggs Provide structure and protein for each bowl.
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese Adds creaminess and moisture to the eggs.
  • 1 lb Breakfast sausage Brings savory flavor and a meaty texture.
  • 16 oz Frozen hash browns Form the base layer and crisp during baking.
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese Melts on top for richness and color.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances all flavors in the mixture.
  • 1 tsp Black pepper Adds mild spice and balance.
  • as needed Cooking oil or spray Prevents sticking in containers.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and grease six small, oven-safe containers.
  2. Brown and crumble the sausage in a pan and drain excess fat. Spread it on a paper towel to remove extra oil.
  3. Blend eggs with cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Place hash browns and crumbled sausage in each container, then pour the egg mix over them. Top with shredded cheese.
Baking
  1. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes until centers set and edges brown.
  2. Let the bowls cool before covering.
Storage
  1. Refrigerate up to five days. Reheat in a 275°F oven or microwave until warm.

Notes

Tips: Use room-temperature eggs, drain sausage well, do not overfill containers, check doneness with a knife, and cool before sealing.
