Meal Prep is 100x easier when there is nothing clean up- thats why I love comming up with recipes to make in these glass meal prep containers!
The best part about using these containers is- while its cooking you can clean up and the only thing left to do is throw the lid on and pop the contianers into the fridge!
These Mini Egg Bakes are a balanced breakfast that you can throw together in less than 5 minutes and probably one of my favorite breakast! There is just something about ham, eggs, cheese + veggies that I love- it’s like comfort food, ya know?
Ingredients:
- diced ham
- eggs
- milk of choice
- bell pepper
- green onions
- black pepper
- cheddar cheese
- hash browns– I just buy the frozen patties and cook them in the air fryer first for about 5 minutes.

Pro Tips:
- I used a ham steak for this recipe- I feel like it just adds so much flavor, but you can use sliced ham or whatever protein you want- like bacon or sausage.
- Make sure you generously spray the containers with olive oil before adding in any of the ingredients. This will help the egg from sticking to the glass.
- I probably wouldn’t add any salt to this recipe because there is naturally a lot of sodium in the ham.
- Place a baking sheet under the glass contianers before putting them into the oven- this just helps with transporting them in and out of the oven.
- Reheat these in the microwave for 1:30.
- I love topping min with salsa when I’m ready to eat!
Tips for this Meal Prep
I paired this meal prep with the Roasted Chicken Sausage + Veggie Bowl with Pineapple Jalapeno Rice. I was able to knock out this meal prep in about 45 minutes with nothing left to but put the egg bakes away after they cooled down!
Here is how I did it-
- start by getting the hash browns into the oven.
- chop all of your veggies and get the rice in the instant pot to cook.
- next I chopped the chicken sausage and then added it to a sheet pan with the broccoli slaw and peppers- get that into the oven.
- While the chicken sausage + veggies cook- make the egg bakes so you can just pop them into the oven after the chicken sausage is done.
- Take out the chicken sausage and turn the oven down to 375- add the egg bakes into the oven
- Put together the chicken sausage meal while
- clean up while the egg bakes are finishing up- once they are done, let them cool completely before putting them away.
That’s it!
I hope this meal prep helps you! Don’t forget to follow along on social meadia for more Meal Prep + healthy recipes!
