Breakfast Bowls

So at some point, my husband started paying attention to how much salt he eats, and ready-made breakfast products tend to be pretty high in it if you want something you can just throw in the microwave in the morning and go.  Some of these are pretty simple egg concoctions, and I can throw together a week's worth in maybe a half hour or forty minutes.

The ones I've been making him are pretty basic: onion, another vegetable, three eggs per bowl, some milk for fluffiness, cheese shreds, and a meat.

To start, I put about a cup of diced onion an a couple tablespoons of oil in a large skillet and set that on low while I'm preparing the other ingredients.  If I'm using diced peppers (about a cup or one pepper), I add that with the onion.  If I'm doing spinach (a whole box or bag of the baby spinach from the bagged salad area of the grocery), I wait until I've got all the eggs cracked, since it wilts down a lot faster.

While that's on low, I crack fifteen eggs (five days) into a bowl and add a half cup to a cup of milk and beat it all together well.  Once the vegetables have cooked a bit, or the spinach has wilted, I pour the egg mix over it and cook like for scrambled eggs, periodically scraping the skillet to let the uncooked egg get to the bottom.  At some point I'll add cracked black pepper, as well.

As soon as the egg is cooked, I turn off the burner and let it cool a bit, then portion it into five freezer-safe bowls.  I've got a ton of Ziploc two cup bowls, so I generally use those.  I add about a third cup of turkey sausage crumbles on it, then about a third cup of shredded Swiss cheese (if spinach) or Monterrey jack (if peppers).

Overall the sausage adds a bit of salt, and depending which kind of cheese, a bit more, but it's noticeably less than the pre-made egg scrambles he had been getting.  I put them in the freezer, and he just pops them in the microwave for a couple minutes, and they're good to go.
