Ok let me first just apologize for my less than professional photos of my food! I can only do so much but let me promise you this. It is delicious. If you aren't eating shitake mushrooms, I encourage you to take the leap. They are so umami and delicious.
SHITAKE MUSHROOM/SPINACH EGG BAKE + MEAL PREP SAMMYS
Makes 8 egg bakes (reserve 4 egg bakes for the sandwiches and 4 for low carb days)
MACROS PER SERVING:
Each Egg Bake (1 of 8): ~87 kcal, 2.25g carbs, 0.4g fiber, 10g protein, 4.1g fat.
Each Sandwich (1 of 4): ~367 kcal, 32.75g carbs, 3.4g fiber, 28g protein, 13.1g fat
INGREDIENTS:
6 large eggs
12 tbsp egg whites
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
Salt and Pepper
2 cups spinach, finely chopped
1 cup shitake mushrooms, chopped
FOR SAMMY:
4 Dave Killer’s protein English muffins
4 slices lite cheddar cheese (I buy my lighter cheese from Trader Joe's - may be harder to find at most groceries stores)
4 chicken sausage patties (mine are from @butcherbox - macros will vary depending on sausage patty)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x12 pan with olive oil spray. Cover with parchment paper so its hanging over edges. Spray olive oil on top of parchment paper. (This is important so there is nothing that sticks and you can just pop it out with parchment paper)
2. In a small blender, add eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, mozzarella, parmesan and spices. Pulse until just blended. Don’t over blend.
3. Pour egg mixture into greased pan. Sprinkle chopped spinach and shitake mushrooms over the top of eggs. Shake slightly to get veggies to fall into eggs (you may need to push veggies down slightly with fork!)
4. Bake at 350 for 30 min or until the eggs have set and no longer jiggle. Watch closely- mine have taken anywhere from 25-40 min depending on my toppings etc.
5. Let cool and cut into 8 equal squares.
6. Lay out English muffins, top with cheese, sausage and one egg bake. Repeat 4x. Wrap tightly and put in Tupperware. Enjoy Wed-Sunday! *Reheat in microwave or pop in air fryer or oven on 400 for 10-15 minutes!
7. Save other 4 squares for breakfast Mon/Tues (low carb days!) or make 8 breakfast sammys if sharing with a friend!
