High Protein Cottage Cheese & Egg Breakfast Bars
Start your day off right with a protein-packed breakfast that will keep you fueled and focused!
Our High Protein Cottage Cheese & Egg Breakfast Bars are a delicious and versatile solution for a quick and easy morning meal.
Why high protein at breakfast? It helps jumpstart your metabolism, supports muscle growth and repair, and keeps you full and satisfied until lunchtime.
Plus, these bars are packed with added nutrition from vegetables like peas, bell peppers, and green onions, making them a nutrient-dense breakfast option.
The best part? These bars are completely customizable to your taste preferences and dietary needs!
Swap out vegetables, add cooked meats like ham or sausage, or boost the protein content even more with *extra* eggs or cottage cheese. The possibilities are endless!
So why not give these High Protein Cottage Cheese & Egg Breakfast Bars a try? Your body (and taste buds) will thank you!
These bars are very versatile. Use whatever vegetables or cooked meat you have at home. Don’t like peas?
Use cooked, chopped asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower etc. instead. Substitute ham, sausage, or cooked crumbled beef for the bacon. Have fun & make them your own!
Add additional Eggs or additional Cottage Cheese for more protein. You’ll need to increase the cooking time slightly.
Meal Prep:
These stay good in the fridge if wrapped and sealed well for up to 5 days. Reheat in the air fryer, microwave, oven, or enjoy it cold!
8-9 servings
Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs, or 2 cups of liquid egg whites
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 6 slices cooked nitrate-free, high-quality bacon, crumbled
- sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Heat your oven to 350 degrees f. Line a 9×9, (an 8×8 or anything with similar capacity will work also) with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the sides for easier removal.
I very lightly sprayed the parchment with avocado oil, but this is optional.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, hemp seeds, and cheeses until combined.
Add in the peas, pepper, onions, and stir to combine. Season with a very small pinch of sea salt and pepper.
Don’t add too much salt though, the cheese and bacon already add a lot of salt. Whisk well.
Transfer your egg mixture to your prepared baking dish, sprinkle the top evenly with cooked crumbled bacon, then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set.
Allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares and serve.
Enjoy!
