Ingredients
- 1 cup Hungry Jack dehydrated potatoes, 48g
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 28 oz. can red enchilada sauce

- 1.5 cups liquid egg whites
- 10 tablespoons low fat cottage cheese, 137g
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1.25 cups reduced fat Mexican cheese blend, shredded (5 oz.)
Instructions
- Add the dehydrated potatoes and hot water to a bowl or jar with a lid placed gently on top. Set aside to let cook.
- In a pan cook the breakfast sausage until no longer pink. Strain out any excess grease.

- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling.
- Let cool before covering with lids and placing in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
I have been LIVING off of this recipe this week! As a mum of 7 kids, making breakfast for myself was feeling impossible. Having these prepped and ready in the fridge has been so nice! As a breastfeeding mum, the high protein content has been a game changer for how I start my day off and sets me up for a well balanced day – both with my nutrition goals but also my energy I can pour into my kiddos. Excited to make a second batch of these for the coming week!
Amazing! I did not use the potatoes, but instead added peppers and onions. Thank you!!
Sounds yummy! I think I’ll give it a try with some shredded gold potatoes in place if the dehydrated potatoes. Brilliant breakfast idea! Thanks!
These were great! So tasty and filling. I love savory breakfast foods so it was perfect for me! Would be great for lunch too. I baked a few minutes longer to get my egg white set in the middle. Thanks for the yummy high protein recipe! Will make again!
Thank you for the review! I’m glad you like this one!
I don’t have 5 bowls and really don’t want to go out and buy MORE things I may only use a few times. Can this be made in a glass casserole dish? If so, does the oven time change? Hope to hear from you soon as I’d love to make this tomorrow morning. Thank you for all your great recipes.
I bet you could combine it and just eat one serving at a time! I made this recently and it’s easy to assemble. Maybe use a long rectangle dish? My only concern would be that the enchilada sauce may spill out though. Everything was already precooked so it’s mainly baking it to combine the flavors and melt the cheese.
I would say this recipe was yummy and the tortillas never got soggy after 5 days.
Clarification : are the ingredients listed for one or 5 bowls?
The ingredients are for 5 bowls.
This was sooooo good I made it two weeks in a row! My husband loved it too. To the commenter who said too many processed ingredients, I gave up processed meats a few years ago so I made my own sausage. And I didn’t have enchilada sauce, so I made my own. It was fantastic and I’ll probably make it this week too!
Hi Holly! I’m so glad you’re enjoying this new one! Thanks for the helpful review!
Great recipe and reheated well, thinking of trying it with green enchilada sauce too to see how that tastes!
Hi Sara! I’m glad you love this new one! I think green enchilada sauce would be great too!
Def will be trying this but minus so much of the processed ingredients. Will replace with whole food.
Hi Ashley, isn’t it so cool you can use my recipes and use whatever ingredients you prefer? I kindly request you try a recipe first next time before leaving a poor review.
Wasn’t sure how well this would keep but I gave it a try because I wanted more than oatmeal with my hectic morning. It came out SOOOO GOOD! Re-heating in the oven was definitely the better method for me because there’s always so much to do before I sit down and eat. This meal was a 10/10 all week! Gonna do one more week of this prep before trying something new.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review!! I’m glad you are enjoying these and came back to share. Means so much! Have a wonderful week and I hope you try some more recipes!
