Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 pound cooked breakfast sausage
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
Burrito Assembly
- 6-8 burrito-sized tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Greek yogurt or sour cream, for topping
- Salsa or pico de gallo, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a half sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easier cleanup.
- Make the egg mixture: In a high-powered blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, egg whites, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the fillings: Transfer the blended egg mixture to a bowl and stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, diced red bell pepper, and chopped baby spinach evenly.
- Bake the eggs: Pour the combined egg and filling mixture onto the lined sheet pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are just set and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the burritos: Slice the baked egg sheet into 6 to 8 rectangular portions, depending on desired size. Place one piece onto each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and salsa or pico de gallo. Optionally, you can lightly toast the assembled burritos in a lightly oiled skillet to crisp the tortillas before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage or a vegetarian sausage alternative to accommodate dietary preferences.
- For a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cheese and omit the cottage cheese or use low-fat cottage cheese.
- Make ahead and refrigerate the baked egg portion for up to 3 days for quick breakfast assembly.
- To freeze, wrap assembled burritos individually and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a microwave or oven.
- Customize toppings like avocado, hot sauce, or fresh cilantro to add extra flavor.
