The Secret Sauce (Ingredients)

• 6 eggs: The foundation of any good breakfast.
• 1 cup cottage cheese: Creamy, cheesy goodness that sneaks in extra protein.
• 1 cup all-purpose flour: Holds it all together like a champ.
• ½ cup ground flaxseed: Because we’re all about those healthy vibes.
• 1 tsp baking powder: A little lift goes a long way.
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning: The secret to that pizza flavor.
• ½ tsp onion powder: Adds a hint of savory magic.
• ½ tsp salt + ⅛ tsp black pepper: Seasoning is key, friends.
• 1 cup spinach (chopped): Greens for that nutrient boost.
• ½ cup red bell pepper (diced): For a pop of color and flavor.
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese: Because life is better with cheese.
• 1 lb turkey sausages (cooked and sliced): Optional, but highly recommended for an extra protein kick.

How to Make Magic Happen (Directions)

1. Preheat and Prep: Fire up your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan. Get ready to make breakfast history.
2. Sizzle the Sausages: Cook your turkey sausages in a skillet until there’s no pink in sight. Let them cool—hot sausages and eggs are not friends.
3. Mix it Up: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, flaxseed, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Bring it Together: Slowly add the dry mix to the egg mixture, whisking as you go. Once it’s all mixed, fold in the spinach, bell pepper, and 1 cup of the cheese.
5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool and Slice: Let your egg bars cool for 10 minutes, then slice into 9 squares. Breakfast is served!

Sides to Make It a Meal

• Fresh Fruit: Pair your egg bar with kiwi, raspberries, or orange slices for a sweet contrast.
• Avocado Slices: Add some creamy avocado on the side for extra healthy fats.
• Greek Yogurt: A dollop of Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey complements the savory flavors perfectly.
