Calories: 276kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup spinach packed and shredded into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 cup red bell pepper diced
- 2 sausage links precooked with casings removed & diced (ham works too)
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, add eggs, egg whites and Greek yogurt. Whip by hand until the mixer become thick and fluffy.
- Spray the inside of two mason jars liberally with nonstick cooking spray then layer the sausage, bell pepper and spinach dividing it between the two mason jars.
- Add the egg mixture to the jars, filling them 3/4 of the way full. They will rise so do not fill to the top or they will overflow.
- Place the mason jars on a baking sheet and bake 25-30 minutes until the eggs are firm.
- Remove jars from the oven, cool 5-10 minutes before devouring or storing in the refrigerator with a lid.

Notes
- Reheat in the microwave for a 1-2 minutes (amount of time depends on your microwave and how large your mason jar is) or reheat in the oven at 350 F for 10 minutes.
- I did NOT put my mason jar in a water bath. Some have asked if this is necessary. It was not for me. I used standard mason jars and they baked perfectly fine. If you're worried, place your mason jars in a casserole dish filled 1/4 of the way with water and bake according to the directions. Like I mentioned, I've never baked mine this way and it's always turned out fine.
