Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 large egg whites (or about ¾ cup)
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 8 oz ground turkey sausage (or any breakfast sausage)
- 1 cup frozen hash browns, thawed
- ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 large burrito-sized tortillas (whole wheat recommended)
Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook hash browns, red bell pepper, and onion until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Pour in egg mixture and cook, stirring often, until eggs are set but still moist.
- In another pan, cook the turkey sausage until browned and fully cooked; drain excess fat.
- Warm tortillas slightly. Fill each with egg mixture, sausage, and shredded cheese.
- Roll tightly, tuck in the sides, and wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap. Freeze in a freezer-safe bag.
Notes
- You can use all whole eggs if preferred.
- Swap in chicken sausage, tofu scramble, or black beans for variety.
- Let filling cool before wrapping to avoid soggy burritos.
- To reheat: Microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 1–2 minutes, or bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes in foil.
