Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato (~500 g), chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups mushrooms, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup spinach, chopped
8 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese, 2%
2 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)
3/4 cup shredded cheese

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease four oven-safe meal prep containers and place them on a sheet pan.
Put the chopped sweet potatoes in a single layer in each meal prep container.
Divide the diced mushrooms, bell peppers, and chopped spinach evenly among the containers.
For the eggs, you can either whisk 2 eggs and ¼ cup of cottage cheese together for each container or whisk all 8 eggs and 1 cup of cottage cheese together and then evenly divide this mixture among the containers.
Sprinkle ½ tsp of Everything Bagel seasoning into each container, if you’re using it.
Top each container with an even amount of shredded cheese.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the eggs are set and the sweet potatoes are fully cooked. To check the sweet potatoes, stick a toothpick in a few; if it goes in smoothly, they are done.
