How to make a Breakfast Egg Bake Meal Prep

Step 1: Chop your veggies

Cut your red and green bell peppers on your cutting board and set them to the side.

Step 2: Preheat your oven and get your Souper Cubes ready

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and set aside the Souper Cubes 1-cup tray.

Step 3: Scramble the eggs, egg whites, and seasonings

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, and seasonings. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Add your beaten eggs to the veggie mixture, simply hash brown shreds, turkey sausage crumbles, and shredded cheese

Once the eggs are scrambled, mix in the rest of the ingredients for the simply hash brown breakfast casserole filling.

Step 5: Pour the egg mixture into the Souper Cube trays

Using a ladle or spoon, pour the egg mixture into the Souper Cubes tray and fill each well about ¾ full. Make sure not to overfill it as the eggs expand when baking and may overflow if filled past the 250 ml line.

Tip: We filled ours about ¼ inch below the 250 ml line

Step 6: Bake directly inside the Souper Cube trays

Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350 F or until the eggs have firmed and are no longer runny. There should be no wet areas on top of the eggs.

Step 7: Let cool and pop out of the Souper Cubes

When it has finished baking, let it cool in the trays for 15 minutes before removing. They should easily pop right out by gently pushing the silicone bottoms up.

Step 8: Add to your meal prep containers and enjoy!

Serve with a side of fresh spinach and berries. Enjoy!
