I’m back with another healthy meal prep bowl recipe, where I’m sharing simple, nutritious meals that make weekly planning a breeze. Each recipe is designed to be high in protein, rich in fiber, and easy to portion—perfect for busy lifestyles and anyone looking to nourish their body without spending hours in the kitchen. If you haven’t tried my Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls or Chicken Enchilada Bowls, you are missing out!
For a grab-and-go breakfast option, my Apple Cinnamon Raisin Overnight Oats Bowls are cozy, lightly sweet, and perfect for fueling busy mornings without any extra prep. Another quick, protein-packed option is my Easy Cottage Cheese Waffles. Fluffy, high in protein, and delicious sweet or savory. Or try my Asparagus and Feta Egg Muffin Cups for a savory, high-protein breakfast that’s perfect for meal prep.
As a nutritionist, I always emphasize the power of real, whole foods and this recipe checks all the boxes. Each bowl is high in protein, thanks to the eggs + egg whites + cottage cheese, and loaded with veggies for gut-loving fiber and antioxidants. Best of all? You can prep an entire batch in just 5 minutes!
Lately, I’ve been using cottage cheese in all kinds of recipes. It’s such a simple way to boost protein and creaminess without overcomplicating meals.

How to make Breakfast Frittata Bowls
Gather up your easy ingredients: eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, arugula, and mozzarella cheese.
Equally divide the portions into 4 equal bowls and bake for 30 minutes. That’s it!



Tips and Adaptations for these Breakfast Bowls
- Baking tip: Use 4 cup glass bowls for even cooking so you have individually portioned breakfast bowls to last you all week.
- Protein swap: I used Canadian bacon, but other proteins like ham, bacon, or sausage also work well in this recipe.
- Veggie swap: use whatever you have on hand. I love mushrooms in here, but broccoli or asparagus is also great. You can swap the greens to spinach. I have so much arugula growing in my herb garden that it is my green of choice.

Meal Prep Frittata Breakfast Bowls

Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup Liquid egg whites
- 8 slices Canadian bacon*, (diced)
- 1 cup Diced bella mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Diced cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Arugula or leafy greens
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese**
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Begin by lightly greasing 4x 4-cup meal prep glass bowls. Place bowls on a large baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Crack 2 eggs into each bowl. Top with 1/4 cup cottage cheese and 1/4 cup liquid egg whites per bowl. Give the mixture a quick whisk.
- Evenly distribute the remaining ingredients among all 4 bowls: Canadian bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, and arugula. Top each bowl with approximately 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese (can also cut this into 2-3 tbsp).
- Place the baking sheet with the bowls in the oven. Bake for approximately 30 – 35 minutes (depending on oven). My oven tends to cook fast! The egg mixture will be nice and firm at the top, a little puffy, and very lightly browned around the eggs when bake time is complete.
- Let sit for a few minutes before enjoying. If storing for meal prep, cool for approximately 25 minutes before adding the lids and storing in the fridge.
- To re-heat, microwave each bowl for approximately 90 seconds and enjoy.

Thank you!
Is there alternative to cottage cheese
Any suggestion for time and temp if we make this in an 8×8 instead? I don’t usually have 4 extra oven safe bowls to bake these individually. Thank you!
Hi Jamie! Good question. You can bake in an 8×8 at 350 degrees and it will bake for around 45 – 50 minutes (depending on oven). Hope that helps!
