A new meal prep made right in your microwave! These protein packed Easy Microwave Breakfast Bowls are absolutely delicious, have endless variations, and only take a few minutes to make. If you’re looking for a quick way to get some extra protein in the morning, this recipe is worth a try!

To make these you’ll need a at least a 2 cup microwave safe bowl or multiple if you’re planning to meal prep them. I’ll throw the ones I use in the recipe card below.

Add into the bottom of whatever you’re using, 1 1/2 cups of shredded potatoes (the bagged ones). If you can’t find those, chopped up potatoes work great too. You can chop them up however you want, the thinner the better for this recipe. You can also make your own shredded potatoes using a grater.

As for the kind of potato you use? They all work great!

If you choose to use thicker cut potato pieces, throw your bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes before the next step.

From here, add in 2 large whole eggs or the equivalent in egg substitute, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, some chopped up vegetables (I went with onion and green pepper), 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, a pinch of salt, and anything else you want. Some of my other favorites?

For even more protein you can top this with or mix in a few ounces of some lean precooked meat or alternative and 1/4 cup of your favorite shredded cheese. I like ground beef or turkey for my lean meat.

Lean Protein Options

• 93/7 Ground Beef
• 93/7 Ground Turkey
• Deli Ham
• Rotisserie Chicken
• Breaded Chicken (Bagged Strips/Nuggets)
• Top Sirloin/Round Steak

Put your bowl it in the microwave for around 2-3 minutes depending on how powerful your microwave is. You’ll know it’s done when your eggs look cooked. It may take more or less time so keep an eye on it!

P.S. Don’t forget to top it! Ketchup, salsa, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, guacamole…

You can make as many of these easy microwave breakfast bowls as you want and make them as big or as small as you want! All you need to do is to mix your ingredients together in some covered containers and pop them in the microwave when you’re ready to eat them.
